DRUG TREATMENT COURTS AND THE IMPACT
OF CANNABIS AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE
Virtual Knowledge Exchange Forum
Wednesday, October 19th, 2022
9:00am – 11:45am.
The Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario, and John Howard Society of Ontario, in partnership with the Provincial Human Services and Justice Coordinating Committee, are hosting a knowledge exchange forum to share the results of a community-based research project funded by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. This project explores how cannabis use impacts mental health and whether it helps or hinders a participant’s completion of a DTC Program. This forum will also examine DTCs and substance use more broadly, including discussions on potential policy options to improve these courts and the criminal justice system.
This forum is intended for court staff including crowns, judges, defence counsel and duty counsel; community mental health and addiction agencies; organizations representing Black, Indigenous, and racialized individuals; policy makers; and people with lived experience of DTCs.
Honoraria will be available for people with lived experience of substance use and/or criminal justice involvement.
