Building Cross-System Veteran Supports in Supervision & Courts in Delaware
SESSION INFO
Monday, March 2, 2026
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Effective veteran programming succeeds when systems align. Delaware’s work has brought probation, courts, VA, providers, and nonprofits together to support justice-involved veterans through screening, training, veteran-only supervision classes, and stakeholder work groups. In this 90-minute session, I’ll walk panelists through our implementation journey, discuss challenges and course corrections, and highlight how metrics informed continuous improvement. Attendees will receive a replicable roadmap and guidance on scaling to different jurisdiction sizes. (Format: presentation with embedded Q&A; no formal exercises.)
