‘Three Levels of Multidisciplinary Governance’ explored online
The Michigan Judicial Institute will present a “Three Levels of Multidisciplinary Governance: The Steering Committee, Treatment Court Team, and Advisory Board Webinar” hosted by Problem-Solving Courts (PSC) on Thursday, June 26, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
Treatment courts bring together the expertise, resources, and legal authority from several professional disciplines to provide evidence-based treatment and complementary services, close supervision, and judicial oversight for high-risk and high-need persons. Three levels of multidisciplinary governance and service coordination are required for treatment courts to function effectively.
The success of multidisciplinary programs like treatment courts depends on how well the partnering agencies coordinate their roles to achieve mutually agreed-upon goals, practice within the bounds of their expertise and ethical obligations, share appropriate information, and avoid interfering with the work of others.
This session will explore questions, provide practical examples, and discuss strategies for getting the community involved in developing their steering committee, treatment court team, and advisory board.
For registration information, contact PSC@courts.mi.gov. After registering, participants will receive a separate e-mail with the Zoom credentials.
