The North Oakland County Veterans’ Treatment Court (NOCVTC) recognized its newest graduates during a ceremony on Thursday, May 15, at the Oakland County 51st District Court in Waterford Township. Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox (third from left) and Oakland County 51st District Court Judge Kelley Kostin (fourth from left) were among those congratulating the graduates along with NOCVTC mentors (l-r) Ken, Tom, Skip, Cheryl, Corey (with dog Kevin), Kelly, Bill, and Howard. NOCVTC is a regional program that serves participants from the 50th District Court in Pontiac, 52-2 District Court in Clarkston, and 51st District Court in Waterford, where it operates. Founded in 2013, the program has graduated 98 individuals, to date. A key element of the success of veterans treatment courts (VTC), such as this one, is the use of volunteer veteran mentors who are able help participants navigate their way through civilian life following active duty. Michigan remains a national leader with 28 VTCs.
