National Treatment Court Month

National Treatment Court Month is held each May and is a national celebration inclusive of all treatment court types: adult, family, juvenile, impaired driving, tribal healing to wellness, and veterans treatment courts.

2025 National Treatment Court Month Toolkit

Each year, the treatment court community comes together to celebrate National Treatment Court Month. This is our annual opportunity to share our success, educate the public, and engage elected officials. The All Rise National Treatment Court Month Toolkit is your guide to making May a success. It’s never too early to start planning. Inside the toolkit and here on this page, you’ll find a wealth of information and samples on ways you can bring attention to your programs while keeping your staff and participants safe and healthy.
