Veterans Treatment Court Mentor Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leave No Veteran Behind – Veteran Helping Veteran<\/strong><\/p>\n

With more than 300,000 veterans in Nevada there are some that get off track and end up at the Henderson Municipal Veterans Court. This court was established in June 2011 as an alternative sentencing program for U.S. Military Veterans, Active Duty Personnel and Retirees who have been arrested for misdemeanor crimes in Henderson.<\/p>\n

Veterans in the Veterans Treatment Court Program are required to participate in rehabilitative programs based on individual needs; to perform community service; and to stay out of trouble as part of their sentencing.<\/p>\n

The goal of a mentor is to assist the veteran in becoming a law abiding and productive citizen. No bond is as strong as the one that exists among those who have fought for their country. Having a fellow veteran to confide in and get their support and guidance helps them successfully complete the program. The mentor is a \u201cbattle buddy.\u201d<\/p>\n
