Standards of Justice Podcast

Who belongs in treatment court? Defining the right population

The response to the first episode of “Standards of Justice” has been overwhelming! Thank you to everyone who has listened and shared it with their colleagues and friends.

We’re thrilled to share the next episode, which is all about Adult Treatment Court Best Practice Standard I: Target Population. Former New Hampshire Superior Court Chief Justice Tina Nadeau walks us through the key takeaways from this standard and addresses some of the common barriers treatment courts face during its implementation.

The conversation touches on determining who is high-risk/high-need, managing proximal and distal goals, understanding motivation for change, and building resource capacity to ensure that these individuals’ needs are met.
