Recently, we have initiated a graduate scholarship fund in 2025, which provides $500 scholarships to graduates from the Wisconsin treatment courts who are looking to pursue higher education or specialized training.

AudioChuck and Crime Junkie has been a repeated donor to our silent auction that directly funds the scholarship fund.

And AudioChuck recently made a donation to our general fund, courtesy of AudioChuck's philanthropy director.

This support has been incredibly meaningful to WATCP and myself truly as a big fan of Crime Junkie and Full Body Chills.

Wisconsin isn't the only state who is looking at the justice system and substance use differently.

There are quite a few states within the U.S.

who have treatment and or problem-solving courts.

All Rise, at allrise.org, is the national organization and hub for treatment courts across the nation and the biggest resource for best practices, standards, training, and news on treatment courts.

I would love to appeal to you to increase the conversation on treatment courts and using treatment courts as an alternative to incarceration for those with substance use disorders and are involved in the criminal justice system.

The more people know and the more people understand, the more support we can get for what we're doing.

You have such a huge platform and a huge following, and I appreciate the level of investigation you do into any topic you discuss.

With much gratitude and appreciation for what you ladies do, Amanda Parlow, President, Board of Directors for the Wisconsin Association of Treatment Court Professionals.

Oh, a little like education.

There you go.

I love hearing from people who are in the trenches of these things that we talk about.

Hearing how much just talking about these systems that I didn't know much about treatment courts.

And I'm like in recovery.

And just learning more about the system that she's working in and how effective it is.

I mean, 83% reduction in overdoses is an incredible number.

That's unbelievable.
