Department:Superior Court
Caption:Acceptance of State Grant Award for Superior Court Veterans
Court.
Background:The State FY2016 grant award of $62,468 is intended to provide
enhancement services to Superior Court's Veterans Court,
presided over by Judge James G. Blanchard. The program is
designed to address underlying conditions, specific to today's
veterans. The Veterans Court creates a model of enhanced
supervision based on individual accountability and treatment,
coupled with a multifaceted team approach designed to protect the
interests of the public, while at the same time addressing the
underlying, specific mental health/substance abuse
issues. The program provides a structure specific to veterans who
demonstrate behaviors that could be effectively monitored through
extensive, individualized counseling and medication therapy
geared toward addressing their underling circumstances. The
structured court approach addresses unwanted behaviors using
behavioral modification therapy techniques to include regular drug
screening, imposed curfews, residential treatment, regularly
scheduled court appearances, and potential sanctions. Participants
who enter Veterans Court are non-violent offenders who are
facing felony charges related to an underlying mental health
condition and/or certain drug offenses. Participants enter the
program with specific goals to achieve and upon reaching the set
goals, progress through the various phases specifically designed to
teach life skills that will benefit the participant well past
graduation from the program.
