Therapeutic Courts

Therapeutic Courts take a problem-solving approach to justice. They address the social and personal issues – such as poverty, addiction, mental illness and abuse – underlying or causing a person’s criminal behaviour.

Saskatchewan’s Provincial Court, like its counterparts across the country, has established several therapeutic courts in recent years.

• Domestic Violence Court
• Moose Jaw Drug Treatment Court
• Regina Drug Treatment Court
• Regina Mental Health Disposition Court
• Saskatoon Mental Health Strategy
