This one-hour CLE will provide a practical overview of the emerging Family Mental Health and Wellness problem-solving court model. The program will explain the purpose of these courts, the families they serve, and how mental-health-focused support is integrated into the court process.
Attendees will receive a streamlined, start-to-finish guide covering identification, screening, entry into the program, and what participation looks like through completion in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. This session will help practitioners understand expectations, available resources, and how the courts collaborate with community partners to support family stability and wellness.

Speakers include the Honorable Caren Loguercio, Supervising Judge of the Suffolk County Family Court; the Honorable Robin M.
