The NTCRC has developed a relationship with the newly-formed Council of State Treatment Court Coordinators (CSTCC) in an effort to become more attuned to the needs of the treatment court field at the state and local levels. Collaboration has also included development of a webpage for this agency, hosted by the NTCRC, and progress towards a discussion platform for agency members.
The NTCRC operates several email inboxes for staff and designated projects. Staff field inquiries from treatment court practitioners as well as monitoring inbox-specific inquiries regarding the NTCRC, Painting the Current Picture survey, and Drug Court Review journal. Inquiries range from single-response questions to more labor-intensive continuous assistance or researching targeting information. Response times range from minutes to days depending on the level of inquiry.
In compliance with our BJA funding agreement, the NTCRC attended All Rise's RISE24 conference in-person in Anaheim, CA, sponsoring a booth at the exhibitor level. NTCRC staff traveled by plane and shipped materials to distribute at the booth. Eight full-time staff members attended the conference from Tuesday, May 22 to Friday, May 25. Staff were present at the booth for two and a half days to network with attendees, answer questions, and demonstrate resources available from the NTCRC.
On October 11 and 12, Center staff Taylor DeClerck and Shawn Rogers traveled to the 2023 Coordinator/Case Manager conference hosted by the Wisconsin Association of Treatment Court Professionals (WATCP). They delivered two presentations. First one titled "Case Management for Justice Professionals: How to lead from the front line" provided the fundamentals for comprehensive case management, how to become participant-oriented and community based, and assisting with needs outside of substance use treatment.
NTCRC Co-directors Dr. Kristen DeVall and Dr. Christina Lanier represented the NTCRC at the BJA TTA Collaborative meeting in Washington, DC on November 8.
