How COVID-19 Lockdown is Shaping Drug Courts: Judge Jennifer Bennett Speaks Out

If you're feeling like you might want to use, try to talk to somebody because there's nobody that's going to tell you that recovery is a bad thing or that they're more unhappy than they were before.
When COVID-19 turned the world upside down, it didn't just disrupt daily life; it also threw the legal system into chaos. In this eye-opening episode of M2 THE ROCK, Michael Molthan chats with Judge Jennifer Bennett to shed light on how the pandemic has affected drug courts. Ever wondered what happens to probation and court hearings during a lockdown? Judge Bennett breaks it all down, sharing the challenges and unexpected solutions that have emerged during these unprecedented times.
One key takeaway is the power of communication. Judge Bennett emphasizes the need for frequent check-ins with probation officers and support groups, which have become even more crucial during lockdown. She also talks about the importance of self-improvement and stress relief activities like exercise to cope with the heightened anxiety and financial uncertainty many are facing. The episode dives into the Dual Diagnosis Court program, highlighting its success in helping individuals who struggle with both addiction and mental health issues.
Judge Bennett points out that recovery is a continuous journey, and there's no 'graduation' from it. The criminal justice system can often feel like a revolving door, but with the right support and tools, breaking the cycle is possible. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear how you can navigate these challenging times with resilience and hope.
