About the webinar:
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) play an important role in ensuring that service members, veterans, and their families (SMVF) have access to coordinated, community-based behavioral health services. To support this work, SAMHSA released a new toolkit: "Engaging Service Members, Veterans, and Families: A Toolkit for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics," which provides guidance, strategies, and practical resources to help organizations strengthen engagement with military-connected populations.

Presenters will provide an overview of the toolkit’s major topic areas, including identifying SMVF within service populations, increasing awareness of military and veteran experiences, forming partnerships with veteran-serving organizations, and addressing factors that may influence engagement and service coordination. This webinar will be followed by a learning community series exploring each of these topics in greater detail.

Check out this new article by our Impaired Driving Solutions project director Julie Seitz, published in the newsletter for the National District Attorneys Association!

The article highlights the SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment) model, an evidence-based approach designed to identify risky substance use earlier, and explores how traffic safety professionals, courts, and public health experts are implementing SBIRT as an early intervention strategy for first-time impaired drivers.

(May 2026)SBIRT and Impaired Driving: A New Opportunity for Early Intervention in the Justice System - National District Attorneys Association NDAA’s mission is to be the voice of America’s prosecutors and to support their efforts to protect the rights and safety of the people by providing its members with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to ensure justice is attained. 

“It is a program of care and treatment. It is a program of compassion, a program of sanctions and rewards, and a program of destiny. It really helps our veterans make a better version of themselves."

Twenty-five graduate from Lake County’s Veterans Treatment Court The treatment program, over the course of between 18 and 24 months, aims to provide alternative sentencing to offenders who are veterans.

This week, 100 treatment court coordinators from 30 states converged on Oklahoma City for our Treatment Court Institute's practitioner training! Led by our director of e-learning Shane Wolf and supported by our Center for Advancing Justice director Nisha Wilson, this was an incredible week of learning, growth, laughter, and connection.

Best read today: this op-ed by alumnus Joe Barsana.

"Therapeutic court did not help me by going easy on me. It helped me by holding me accountable. I had to show up, do the work, stop using and take responsibility for my decisions. At first, I resisted it. Then I adapted to it. Eventually, I grew because of it. That accountability did not break me. It built me. It gave me structure when I had none and taught me discipline I had never learned. It forced me to take ownership of a life I had completely lost control of. Through that process, something new emerged: real empowerment. Not the kind you talk about, but the kind you earn."

Therapeutic courts and diversion work. I'm proof | Op-Ed One of the biggest misconceptions today is that compassion and accountability are opposites. They are not. In therapeutic courts, they work together.

Talk about showing up to live your recovery out loud! What a beautiful testament to the community that's built when we make sure that EVERYONE gets a chance to rise.
