"Problem Solving Courts are the most effective justice intervention we've ever had in this country. They hold people accountable while connecting them with evidence-based treatment and consistent judicial supervision."
"These courts save lives, strengthen families, and help people find stable housing, steady employment, and a future they never thought possible."

Judges frequently encounter individuals whose criminal actions stem from untreated substance use or mental health issues. Problem Solving Courts provide essential interventions by holding individuals accountable while offering evidence-based treatment and judicial supervision.

May is National Treatment Court Month, highlighting the significant contributions of these courts. Personal stories from graduates, like Ricky Heffner, illustrate the profound impact of these programs on individuals and communities.
