Talk Of Alaska

Many people who are involved with the criminal justice system have mental health issues, substance use disorders, or both. Instead of going to prison, some people choose to participate in the Alaska Therapeutic Court System where a team of people helps them heal. We’ll hear from people who have graduated from the program and people who run it.
