April 17 Jury Trial - NO JURY TRIAL TODAY.
Tulalip’s Healing to Wellness Court provides the support and resources necessary for our clients to begin living sober lives and reconnecting with their families, community and culture. We offer comprehensive services in the areas of medical, mental health, and chemical dependency treatment, housing, jobs skills and placement. These services are provided through an intensely-supervised court program of support and accountability.
Criminal defendants charged with non-violent offenses arising from drug abuse and/or mental health conditions are eligible to participate in the Tulalip Healing to Wellness Court. An assessment and intake interview is conducted, and an individualized treatment plan is developed for each program participant. This allows them to avoid criminal prosecution and rebuild their lives.
Each participant will be supported, supervised, and held accountable to that plan by the members of the wellness court team: judge, prosecutor, defense attorney, coordinator, case manager, chemical dependency counselor, mental health counselor, law enforcement officer and community member.
