AOC Presents: Best Practices Book Club- Substance Use, Mental Health, and Trauma Informed Care

Best Practice Book Club – Substance Use, Mental Health, and Trauma Treatment and Recovery Management

In our next Best Practice Book Club we will explore the Best Practice Standard on Substance Use, Mental Health, and Trauma Treatment and Recovery Management. Found on pages 67-94 of the All-Rise_Adult-Treatment-Court-Best-Practice-Standards_January-2026-4.pdf. Our Book Club will start with a brief presentation, followed by small group breakouts with suggested questions to guide your conversation, and a reconvening for large group discussion and sharing of insights.

If you are able to, please read through the Substance Use, Mental Health, and Trauma Treatment and Recovery Management standard as well as the commentary in order to get the full benefit of this session, however, reading it is not a requirement to attend and participate.

Fri, June 26, 2026 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

We look forward to seeing you at the Book Club!
