Mission Statement: To provide the support and resources necessary for
our clients to begin living sober lives and reconnect with their families,
community, and culture.

Tulalip’s Healing to Wellness Court offers comprehensive services
in the areas of medical, mental health, and chemical dependency
treatment, housing, jobs skills and placement. These services will be
provided through an intensely supervised court program of support and
accountability.

Criminal defendants charged with non-violent offenses arising from dug
abuse and/or mental health conditions may be eligible to participate in
the Healing to Wellness Court and thereby avoid criminal prosecution.
As assessment and intake interviews will be conducted and an individu-
alized treatment plan developed for each program participant.
Each participant will be supported, supervised, and held accountable to
that plan by the members of the Healing to Wellness Court team: judge
prosecutor, defense attorney, coordinator, case manager, chemical
dependency counselor, metal health counselor, recovery coach law
enforcement officer, and community member.
If you are interested in participating in Wellness Court please talk to your
defense counsel, the prosecutor, or your probation officer to determine
if you meet the referral criteria. If you meet the criteria they can make a
referral to Wellness Court. If you have any questions you may email or
call the Wellness Court Coordinator at any time.
