Meet your board members on the new NEADCP blog.  Every month a new interview will be posted from one of the six New England states, highlighting a board member from that particular state.  In our interviews you will learn:

 

  • the board’s views on MAT;

  • which New England State is poised to impact the national conversation on treatment courts;

  • where the first stand-alone DUI court is in New England

  • where the Veterans courts are and what are they are doing

  • and so much more!

 

We also want to hear from you.  Post a comment; connect with your board; ask questions; see our first interview with Hon. Robert P. Ziemian, President, NEADCP.  Then look for us in person at the September conference -- “WHERE JUSTICE AND TREATMENT MEET: FACING COMPLEX ISSUES” --   to keep the conversation going.
