The Treatment Court Health Professionals Collaborative (TCHPC), a working group comprised of representatives from MATCP, the Michigan State Medical Society, the Michigan Osteopathic Association, the Michigan Psychiatric Society, and the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services, invites you to a Regional Planning Group meeting of our Connecting Treatment Courts and Health Professionals project.  

History: On November 30, 2018, TCHPC piloted a Regional Cross Training Conference for treatment court team members and health professionals from Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties.  Key goals included:

• Fostering improved relationships between treatment courts and the medical community;
• Identifying potential partnerships;
• Enhancing communication and shared resources;
• Increasing awareness of the use of medications during treatment and encouraging the courts to work with all three FDA-approved medications, as well as other evidence-based medications and therapies.

Nearly sixty participants were in attendance for the half-day training. The training included presentations from representatives of the state, courts, jails, and medical community. In addition, case studies were presented and discussed. Participants were surveyed and overall the feedback was very positive. TCHPC debriefed following the training, identified areas in which the training could be improved and desired future training sites, and worked on a training tool-kit structure.

On Wednesday, March 3, 2021, during MATCP's 21st Annual Conference, TCHPC will be hosting a Regional Planning Group meeting to demonstrate the Regional Cross Training Conference and how it can replicated in your community.  If you are attending MATCP's 21st Annual Conference (click here to register) you may select this event on your conference agenda.  If you are not attending the Conference, but would still like to join us virtually or in-person, please fill out the form below.
