SURVEY of HEALING to WELLNESS COURTS
A CENSUS of TRIBAL JUSTICE
Coming May 2019
Healing to Wellness Courts operationalize the cutting edge of restorative justice and embody the core of the tribal court’s sovereign expression. Most importantly, Wellness Courts help heal and reunify families and communities suffering from substance abuse.
We learn from each other.
A national survey will inform
- Tribal best practices
- Innovative structures, practices, and polices
- The trend of substances affecting Indian country
- Funding opportunities
- The needs of tribes
Offered by the Justice Programs Office (JPO) and the Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI), the Wellness Court Survey will be available in May 2019.
JPO will send each participating court the final report. Only aggregate results will be reported. Participants’ individual responses, names, and courts will not be identified.
Every tribal court entry will be entered into a Raffle to win a “Confluence” queen-size wool blanket made by Eighth Generation!
