On Saturday, October 30th, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the Door County Treatment court and its functions. The Treatment court first began over five years ago when the League of Women Voters interviewed community and local government leaders to gather data to better understand the community's needs regarding mental health and substance abuse. Susan Kohout describes the event's goal as to both educate the community on what the treatment court has to offer and hear from people about what the community still needs.

Saturday's event will begin with a panel that includes a Door County judge, Door County District Attorney, and Door County Department of Health & Human Services Director. This panel will focus on the purpose of the treatment court, why it was established, and the current status and struggles it is facing. After the panel discussion, Serah Muinde, a Winnebago County Treatment Court graduate, will speak about her experiences and how the court has impacted her life. This event will be held at the Donald and Carol Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor from 9 am to noon.
