Families, Mental Illness and the Judicial System

This 6 (six) hour class is designed for anyone who has a mentally ill loved one that is currently or formerly involved with the judicial system; or is in risk of becoming involved.

Our goal is to help our mentally ill loved ones navigate and minimize continuing legal sanctions as they make progress in recovery and meet legal justice obligations.
