As a new coordinator you occupy a critically important position in the treatment court system. You are in some ways the “hub” around which the multi-disciplinary team wheel turns. There are many important functions you are called upon to carry out. Over the next few months you will become an expert in many areas. But for now, there are some particularly urgent issues for you to deal with and this section of the Coordinators Toolkit is organized specifically for you. It will provide you with guidance and direction in the following areas:
