The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) looks forward to welcoming new and returning attendees in-person for the

2024 Tribal Healing to Wellness Court Implementation and Enhancement Training. This year’s Wellness Court Training will be held September 18-20, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona. The Wellness Court Training this year will focus on the theme: Reclaiming Indigenous Justice. This powerful theme serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role traditional Indigenous justice plays in shaping Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts and guiding their current practices.

It is a reminder that Tribes best know how to care for their own communities and keep them safe, and have inherent strengths in Indigenous justice systems.

​

The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) is pleased to offer three plenary sessions, and twenty-seven workshops organized into three tracks:

 

• Adult Healing to Wellness Court

• Family Wellness Court

• Roles Specific to Healing to Wellness Courts 

 

The Wellness Court Training will be oriented around the Tribal Ten Key Components and All Rise Adult Treatment Court Best Practice Standards. This training is a unique opportunity to receive information on current treatment court best practices, learn innovative approaches to substance abuse and treatment, and engage with other Healing to Wellness Courts practitioners from across the country.

 

This Wellness Court trainings will focus upon tribal issues, including jurisdictional and legal issues unique to Indian country, the incorporation of custom and tradition into the phases, case management, treatment curriculums, tangential services, and the peer-to-peer sharing of successful Healing to Wellness Courts models in operation. Training topics will cover adult criminal, juvenile justice, family dependency, DWI/DUI, and veterans models.
