Justice for Vets
In June at RISE23, we unveiled our new name and brand as All Rise. As part of the rebrand, we’ve also made changes to our divisions, and we’d like to introduce you to them one by one. You’ve already met the Treatment Court Institute and Impaired Driving Solutions; next is Justice for Vets.
Justice for Vets transforms how the justice system identifies, assesses, and treats our veterans by ensuring that no veteran is left behind. We provide a wide variety of training, technical assistance, and other free resources to educate public health, public safety, and veterans’ service professionals on evidence-based, best, and promising practices for working with justice-involved veterans diagnosed with mental health and substance use disorders. This includes not only veterans treatment courts, but all treatment courts who accept and serve veterans.
In short, we keep veterans out of jail and prison and connect them to the benefits and treatment they have earned.

“Justice for Vets’ impressive array of education options proactively anticipate the ever-evolving needs of the professionals who provide lifesaving interventions to justice-involved veterans. By empowering local jurisdictions to develop and sustain our nation’s treatment courts, especially veterans treatment courts, we serve not only those who served us, but their families and communities as well.”
