SUMMARY:AllRise: Clinical vs. Forensic Drug Testing
DESCRIPTION:Session 3: Clinical vs. Forensic Drug Testing\nDate & Time\nJun 9\, 2026 09:00 AM in\nPacific Time (US and Canada)\nDescription\nDrug testing is one of the most frequently used and most frequently misunderstood tools in treatment court settings. When used appropriately\, drug testing can provide valuable clinical information to guide treatment decisions. When misused or misinterpreted\, it can lead to inappropriate sanctions\, erosion of the therapeutic alliance\, ethical conflicts for providers\, and poor outcomes for participants.\nThis session clarifies the critical distinctions between clinical and forensic drug testing\, including differences in purpose\, methodology\, interpretation\, and professional responsibility. Participants will review ASAM guidance on the appropriate use of drug testing and explore how courts’ expectations sometimes push treatment providers beyond their ethical scope of practice.\nUsing case examples\, including false positives\, misapplied results\, and harmful court responses\, participants will develop a clearer understanding of how to interpret drug testing results responsibly and communicate findings to court teams in a way that protects both clients and professional integrity. \nLearning Objectives\n1.	Differentiate between clinical and forensic drug testing in terms of purpose\, methodology\, interpretation\, and ethical responsibility.\n2.	Explain ASAM guidance regarding the appropriate clinical use of drug testing in addiction treatment.\n3.	Describe the ethical and professional risks of requiring treatment providers to function in forensic roles. \n“Therapeutic Court Association of Washington is sharing this event for informational purposes only and is not affiliated with\, endorsing\, or sponsoring the event.”

SUMMARY:Military Sexual Trauma: Treatment Options Based on Context
DESCRIPTION:Military Sexual Trauma: Treatment Options Based on Context \nTime: 1:00pm-4:00pm \nLocation: Virtual \nInstructor: Lori R. Daniels\, Ph.D.\, LCSW  \nCE credits: \nCourse Description: \nAppropriate treatment of sexual assault and/or harassment from a client’s active-duty military experience can be challenging for mental health providers. A one-size-fits-all intervention may not be the most appropriate intervention\, given the complexity of issues or the timing within a client’s counseling journey. The context of a survivor’s experience and creating a collaborative counseling relationship are important variables to consider as therapists facilitate each survivor’s recovery process. This presentation will discuss the option of integrative psychotherapy techniques (including evidence to support multiple interventions) which allow for a client’s context to be taken into account and the building of rapport as a priority. If time\, a case will also be presented illustrating the application of integrative methods.  \nLearning Objectives: \nAt the end of this training participants will be able to: \nState the risk factors with military sexual trauma vs. civilian sexual trauma incidences.\nDiscuss the use of integrative psychotherapy methods for use among assault survivors with complex issues.\nDescribe a model that allows assessment of a client’s traumatic event context\, as well as healing context.\nDescribe their own context as clinicians that may maximize their ability to work with sex assault survivors.  \nReferences: \nLopes\, Jillian\, et al. “Adding Insult to Injury: Exploring the Relation between Moral Injury and Military Sexual Trauma.” Journal of Military\, Veteran and Family Health\, vol. 9\, no. 4\, 1 Sept. 2023\, pp. 19–28\, https://doi.org/10.3138/jmvfh-2022-0045. \nGalovski\, Tara E.\, et al. “The Relative Impact of Different Types of Military Sexual Trauma on Long-Term PTSD\, Depression\, and Suicidality.” Journal of Interpersonal Violence\, vol. 38\, no. 15-16\, 27 Apr. 2023\, p. 088626052311688\, https://doi.org/10.1177/08862605231168823. \nHerriott\, Charlotte\, et al. “Defining Military Sexual Trauma: Establishing Parameters and Perspectives.” European Journal of Psychotraumatology\, vol. 15\, no. 1\, 16 Aug. 2024\, https://doi.org/10.1080/20008066.2024.2390759. \nRegistration: Open\nEvent Date\nJUN19FRIDAY\nSave to calendar\nRegistration Closes\nJune 17\, 2026 @ 11:55 pm \nLocation \nFeatured SpeakersView all featured speakers ▶\nINSTRUCTOR\nPhoto of Lori Daniels\, Ph.D LCSW\nLori Daniels\, Ph.D LCSW\nSelection Options\nVirtual Event \n	Friday Jun 19\, 2026 @  01:00:PM  —  04:00:PM PDT\nVirtual link will be emailed to participants the day before the event.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Homeless Courts and Care Courts to Support Individuals’ Homelessness\, Mental Illness\, and Substance Use Disorders Needs
DESCRIPTION:Leveraging Homeless Courts and Care Courts to Support Individuals’ Homelessness\, Mental Illness\, and Substance Use Disorders Needs\nJune 24\, 2026\, 3:30–5:00 p.m. ET\nJurisdictions nationwide have implemented homeless courts and care courts as structured responses to the challenges faced by individuals who are homeless\, have mental and substance use disorders\, and intersect with the criminal justice system. These models emphasize collaborative\, cross-system approaches that connect individuals to services to promote recovery and resolve legal barriers to housing\, employment\, and transportation.\nThis webinar will provide an overview of two programs that demonstrate the homeless court and care court models. Presenters will share Ventura\, California’s CARE Act program\, including its structure and measurable outcomes. The webinar will also feature the Columbia Homeless Court program\, established in 2015\, with a focus on its development\, operational framework\, and data trends. The discussion will highlight how these programs can strengthen system coordination\, resolve legal challenges\, and improve outcomes for individuals with complex needs.  \nLearning Objectives\n•	Understand the function of homeless courts and care courts in addressing homelessness among individuals with mental and substance use disorders.\n•	Describe essential elements of homeless court and care court models.\n•	Consider ways to leverage the homeless court or care court models at the local level to address housing barriers among justice-involved individuals who also have mental and substance use disorders. \nPresenters\n•	Levana Adato\, LCSW\, Clinic Administrator\, Ventura County Behavioral Health\n•	Hans W. Pauling\, Esq.\, Director of Affiliate Services\, Fifth Judicial Circuit Solicitor’s Office  \nModerator\n•	Melissa Stein\, DrPH\, Senior Project Associate\, Policy Research Associates\, Inc. \n“Therapeutic Court Association of Washington is sharing this event for informational purposes only and is not affiliated with\, endorsing\, or sponsoring the event.”
