The 2011 conference was a great success with state and national experts presenting the latest in criminal justice, mental health and substance abuse programs to more than 350 attendees . More than two dozen education workshops and multiple plenary sessions included best practices in diversion and re-entry, housing, employment, veteran’s justice outreach, peer support, data management and more. The conference also marked our first Justice Institute continuing education course for Florida judges. Click here to view the 2011 Conference Program.
