‘Fundamentals of Problem-Solving Courts’ offered online December 4-5

The Michigan Judicial Institute will present “Fundamentals of Problem-Solving Courts” hosted by Problem-Solving Courts (PSC) online Wednesday and Thursday, December 4-5, from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

This training will focus on the fundamentals of a successful problem-solving court, such as screenings and assessments, the team approach, team meetings and review hearings, treatment, drug testing, behavioral responses, confidentiality, due process, data and evaluation, and a solid understanding of addiction and mental health.  

This training is required for judges and coordinators of programs receiving first-year funding through any SCAO problem-solving court grant program, and new problem-solving court teams and team members are strongly encouraged to attend.  It is also recommended for more-experienced team members who want a refresher.

For registration information, contact PSC@courts.mi.gov.  After registering, participants will receive a separate e-mail with the Zoom credentials 24-48 hours before the training.
