Juvenile-Probate Courts’ Judge Frederick “Fritz” Hany II and Ottawa County Job and Family Services will continue their collaboration with The Robert F. Kennedy National Resource Center for Juvenile Justice. This program streamlines services to local youth and families who find themselves in both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
“The Ottawa County collaboration of youth serving agencies has done an extraordinary job over the past year to develop an innovative approach that addresses their most vulnerable, marginalized and challenging population of youth and families,” said John Tuell, Executive Director of the RFK Juvenile Justice Resource Center.
The complexity of the situations that face the youth involved in both systems can be challenging not only for their families but also for one agency to deal with on its own.
