"How can we best serve those who have served us and are coming through our court system?"
That question was at the center of the two-day Veterans Treatment Court Summit our Recovery and Reform team hosted at the National Veterans Resource Center in Syracuse, New York. The summit brought together more than 100 practitioners from across the country—including judges, attorneys, mentors, and more—to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other's experiences bringing support to veterans in the criminal justice system. Breakout discussions gave attendees an opportunity to share their perspectives on everything from diversity, equity, and inclusion in veterans treatment courts to the need for responses that are sensitive to challenges like PTSD, moral injury, and acquired brain injuries.
