Common use of Peacekeeping and Wellness Courts Clause in Contracts

Peacekeeping and Wellness Courts. Many Tribes have had success treating opioid offenders using traditional healing practices and alternative institutions, sometimes called wellness courts or peacekeeping courts. Example: The Yurok Tribal Court, in coordination with the California State courts in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, operates its Family Wellness Courts (FWC) for Yurok families suffering from opioid abuse problems. The FWC seeks to develop judicial practices that are consistent with Yurok tribal values and needs, combining the resources and expertise of both systems. It focuses on reintegrating tribal members into the culture and life of the Yurok community and helping them establish a drug-free lifestyle.
