COVID-19 Home
During these challenging times, NADCP is here to help.
With our team of expert staff, we've assembled a library of resources for treatment courts to use as the world adapts to the COVID-19 pandemic. As public health guidance and restrictions evolve, NADCP is adding new resources here to help courts adapt; check this site often for the latest resource updates.
In addition to what you find here, we encourage all practitioners to consult with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, relevant local, state, and federal authorities, and all professional organizations with which you are affiliated.
Do not hesitate to contact us with your questions and suggestions for how we can help.
Inside You'll Find:
- Innovations: What real courts are doing to adapt to social distancing.
- Hot Topics: A Q&A guide to the issues facing treatment courts today.
- Virtual Training: Webinars and other e-learning tools for courts and staff operating today.
Report: Treatment Courts and COVID-19 Adapting Operations
NADCP partnered with NPC Research and the Bureau of Justice Assistance to research how treatment courts adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings are assembled in this report detailing the innovative ways programs overcame restrictions to keep participants engaged and healthy.
The detailed report focuses on successes and challenges related to:
- Communicating and monitoring participant progress
- Conducting treatment court sessions and staffing activities
- Responding to participant behavior
- Engaging participants in treatment and recovery services
Registration Is Now Open
The education, collaboration, and inspiration found at RISE are needed now more than ever, so NADCP is proceeding with holding RISE21 in person, as planned. We are working closely with the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center and all contracted RISE hotels to ensure that appropriate safety protocols are in place, and we are continually monitoring local, state, and federal health guidelines, which we will follow.
We will keep the treatment court community updated on all RISE developments. We invite you to learn more about RISE21 and the safety measures we are putting in place.
