The intertribal court of southern california (ICSC) healing to wellness program began development in 2018

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded a $400,000 Treatment Court Discretionary Grant to the Intertribal Court of Southern California (ICSC) to enhance their Healing to Wellness court program for at-risk youth. The grant supports ICSC's efforts to continue supporting at-risk youth, improve intergovernmental relations and agreements, utilize culturally relevant and trauma-informed court processes, refine code and policy needs, address staffing needs, implement better use of partner resources, and increase family and community involvement. This 5-year project grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, aims to provide evidence-based substance use disorder treatment, recovery support services, and judicial supervision for justice-involved youth with substance use issues within the Southern California Native American community.

ICSC will enhance their current program by continuing to support at-risk youth, improve intergovernmental relations and agreements, utilize culturally relevant and trauma-informed court processes, refine code and policy needs, address staffing needs and concerns, implement better use of partner resources, and increase family and community involvement.
