The National Drug Court Institute has partnered with National Development & Research Institutes, Inc. to implement the ‘Cultural Proficiency for Drug Court Practitioners’ training project to selected Drug Courts from 1/1/10-12/31/10. Latino and African American centric versions of this curriculum are available contingent upon your target population.

These skill building team trainings are designed to instruct Family, Juvenile, and Adult implementation drug court teams in agency-level (treatment services and the justice system) and systems-level (client and drug court practitioner) issues of cultural proficiency. Participants are judges, public defenders, prosecutors, probation officers, parole officers, treatment workers, TASC evaluators and other treatment/criminal justice practitioners involved in drug court practice nationwide.

This training is tailored to meet the regional needs of participating drug court teams. For additional information on how your team, state or region can participate and benefit from this FREE two-day training project please contact: Diana Padilla at 212.845.4564, Diana.Padilla@ndri.org
