Proposal Number: RFP #26-27-JS Veterans Treatment Court Peer Support and Aftercare Services
1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
Cumberland County Veterans Treatment Court is a specialized court system designed to address the unique needs of
veterans and active-duty members in the criminal justice system. This court aims to provide veterans and active-duty
members access to treatment and support services rather than traditional punitive measures. Peer support services
involve individuals with lived experience in recovery from mental health or substance use challenges providing
empowerment, understanding, and practical help to others facing similar situations. Peer support services also involve
individuals acting as guides who share strategies, offer hope and connect veterans to resources, complementing
traditional treatment by fostering community and reducing isolation through shared journeys. The services required will
also include assistance in navigating complex systems like treatment, housing, and employment for veterans.
