Main St.          Savage, 23, the 57th WIN Court graduate, and Stevens, 28, the 58th WIN Court graduate, each have a criminal history. Over the last two years, both women have proven how determination can lead to self-discovery and transformation. They faced a lifetime of trauma, substance use and many obstacles, embraced recovery, accomplished the rigorous mandated program requirements and worked hard to build a new life. The women have shown tremendous commitment, dedication and focus in maximizing opportunities throughout their journey, meeting their goals and defining a new destiny.            Las Vegas Municipal Court Department 1 Judge Cynthia Leung and the WIN Court team could not be prouder of the women they have become.           Graduation celebrates the journey of women who imagined the life they want and have worked very hard to achieve, if not surpass, their initial goals. The strength and determination of the women is an inspiration to women in recovery and to the women who are following in their footsteps through the WIN Court program.           Women In Need of Change (WIN) Court is a trauma-responsive specialty court program in the Las Vegas Municipal Court that assists female offenders with a history of criminal behavior, misdemeanor and/or substance abuse-related charges by targeting the root of the issue — trauma.  Through WIN Court, the women learn the tools to change their way of thinking to make positive choices and create their future. All participants have 180 days of jail time suspended for a minimum of 18 months, which is cleared upon successful completion of the program.           The women who participate must comply with rigorous sentencing requirements throughout the program, requiring the participants to complete drug treatment and intensive counseling programs, earn a GED or pursue education/training and secure employment. The defendants must stay out of trouble and abstain from drugs and alcohol during the program. The Court celebrated its first graduate in August 2008.           WIN Court currently is funded by an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, a SAMHSA grant and a grant from the Nevada Administrative Office of the Courts.###Las Vegas City Council Mayor Carolyn G.
