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.
