The Peterborough Community Support Court is a justice and treatment partnership which adopts strategies aimed at reducing crime and enhancing individual and community well being by promoting and facilitating the holistic rehabilitation of criminal defendants experiencing both a mental illness and a substance abuse disorder. Experienced practitioners will explain the mechanics, challenges and successes of this approach.
