Georgia’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) recently awarded the Rockdale County Juvenile Court $150,000 to fund a Functional Family Therapy (FFT) program, a form of evidence-based, at-home treatment for juvenile offenders. Rockdale is among several counties that applied earlier this year for the CJCC’s statewide Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant Program, which is intended to fund local alternatives to juvenile detention. In total, the grant program awarded nearly $4 million to 16 counties through the sweeping juvenile justice reform package passed earlier this year by the Georgia legislature. The county is among the top 18 in Georgia for committing youth to state Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) facilities. About 30 families are expected to receive FFT services when the program begins Oct. 1. Read More. |
