Virtual Report Launch - Judging Symptoms: The Cost of Punishing a Public Health Crisis

Join us for our virtual report launch, Judging Symptoms: The Cost of Punishing a Public Health Crisis, a report on what the Treatment Court Expansion Act means for WNY. Held Thursday, September 25th from 12pm-1:30pm, learn more with The Treatment Not Jail Coalition.

Drug Court, Mental Health Court, and Opioid Court offer an alternative to incarceration through court-supervised treatment in the community. Some participants receive life-changing care, while many are punished for their symptoms. The Treatment Court Expansion Act seeks to create equitable access to quality care and end the cycle of crisis and incarceration.
