Healing to Wellness Teen Juvenile Court
Carla Chebetnoy
Program Manager
Mission Statement
Our mission is to establish a Teen Wellness Court with clear processes and rules. This court will decrease youth substance use and juvenile offenses, facilitate youth making healthy life choices, facilitate families spending more time together, and decrease the number of youth being processed through the Alaska State Juvenile process.
Planning Phase
The Teen Juvenile Wellness Court has been established and implemented with our junior and high school students.
The Juvenile Healing to Wellness Court will be staffed with Tribal Judges and Teens.
We plan to work with the local Police and school officials to meet the needs of the youth and families.
Goals
• Work with junior and high school students and get a youth peer court assembled and use as needed.
• Get more peer training for youth.
• Have more training for school staff.
• Use Teen Wellness Court more often.

about $74,000 Culture Camp is totally funded by
donations and a few small grants from Fish and Wildlife
and Aleutian Housing.
• We now have more local Instructors in our community and
we strive to hire more apprentices every year. It takes a
lot of time and money to have an annual Culture Camp
and we hope to continue doing so in the future.
• Next year will be our 20th year of having Culture Camp in
Sand Point.
