Accessing Creative Solutions in the Court System
What are the unique things we can do in the wellness court to solve problems? We will discuss how to use the court’s special expertise as part of an extended family that provides access to a braided network of services and resources that support healing. We will address examples of challenges faced by individual participants and discuss how to support their recovery while they navigate the Healing to Wellness Court system.

Developing Positive Community Relationships
We can’t hand over our problems to someone else; we have to take them on together. The degrees of separation in Indian Country are slim and it is up to us to treat our relatives with respect through unique support tailored to their needs. We will discuss how to develop support groups and other community opportunities for participants around specific issues that can change what the court represents for the community and for the individual participants.
