Nassau County launches Juvenile Treatment Court By Gregg Roth If the phrase g'et me out of here now had a face, it would be Anna's* at this very moment. Anna, age 17, was sitting at a table with six adults, including her muler and a Family Court judge, all of them smiling back at her. Anna had just become the first member of the Nassau County Juvenile Treatment Court, a new program created to address substance abuse problems aniong children who are before the Nassau County Family Court with juvenile delinquency or person in need of supervision (PINS) cases. The adults sitting around the table represented a spec- trum of Nassau County and New York State agencies, all of whom joined together over a year ago to map out a srat- egy to arrive at this day. After attending weekly lunchtine meetings, aumerous lectures, training sessions through- out New York and in other parts of the country, as well as online the group, calling itself The Juvenile Treatment Court Tham, was finally ready to commence the Juvenile Treatment Court on May 1, 2008. The Juvenile Treatment Court is the result of collabo- ratng across disciplines and pooling county, state and fed- eral resources.

Together with the Reclaiming Futures grant, State and County agencies such as the Office of Court Administration, Canter for Court Innovation, the Nassau County Probation Department and the Nassau County Attorney's Office, among others, provided resources and staff to launch the state's newest Juvenile Treatment Court. This program works because all of the agencies See JUVENILE, Page 14 Members reconnect at annual 'Domus On The Lawn' By Valerie Zurblis It was a picture perfect day for a picnic as,S once again, members and guests gathered for the annual Domus on the Lawn.
