Nurturing Well-Being with Kurt Kelly welcomes Dr. Mimi Graham, Director of the Florida State University’s Center for Prevention & Early Intervention Policy, for a discussion about what is affectionately called baby-court in the Florida Dependency Court system. The judges dealing with Child Welfare situations are charged with remarkably difficult decisions every day. Decisions that affect the current and future lives of children and families. Dr. Graham’s work is centered around giving judges the proper trauma- based training, allowing them to dive into the reasons why these families have reached the courtroom. This approach results in judges who adjudicate not only the legal ramifications of certain actions, but also therapeutic solutions aimed to repair the trauma that is often at the root of the problem, and in- turn can keep the family intact. This episode of Nurturing Well-Being with Kurt Kelly is available on all streaming platforms and is a great way to learn more about how baby-court has helped children, families and even taxpayers.
