Our Court had the privilege of attending and participating in the Specialized Dockets Conference hosted by the Ohio Supreme Court this week. Director of Court Services, Anthony Wedemeyer, presented on our Court’s partnership with I Am Boundless through OhioRISE, and shared with conference attendees how we are able to better support children who have complex behavioral health needs and challenges by linking them (and their families) with wraparound services in the community and in the home as soon as possible, in an effort to prevent traditional institutional care and/or recidivism, while still protecting the safety of the child, family and our community. Thank you to the Specialized Dockets Section of the Supreme Court of Ohio for allowing us to be a part of this wonderful opportunity!
