Family Treatment Courts (View from the Bench series)

August 29, 12-1pm

ZOOM

Between sixty and eighty percent of substantiated child abuse and neglect cases handled by the courts involve substance use disorder (SUD) by a parent or guardian. Family Treatment Courts serve children, parents and families involved in the child welfare system due to parental SUD as a contributing factor to child abuse or neglect. These courts operate collaboratively, drawing on community partners’ expertise in child welfare and SUD treatment. In addition to providing support to the children and youth, and information to the court, CASA/GAL volunteers can play an important role in identifying available community services to address the needs and build on the strengths of each family member.
