The document summarizes research on the journey of gay men experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) to self-realization and resilience. It describes 4 core themes identified: [1] recurring negativity from childhood experiences and abusive relationships; [2] realizing a way out by evaluating their situation, partners, societal norms and themselves; [3] bouncing back by leaving the situation and changing their views of partners, society and themselves; and [4] proceeding with caution by describing their future selves with increased awareness, caution and ability to help others. The research highlights both internal factors like forgiveness and external supports like counseling that help cultivate resilience. It recommends dedicated support groups, counseling and shelters for battered men.
This document summarizes a court case in New Jersey regarding an open adoption agreement. A birth mother placed her child for adoption with a couple she knew, with the agreement that she would be able to visit the child. However, when the adoption was finalized, the couple cut off contact. The birth mother sued to overturn the adoption. The New Jersey Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the adoptive parents, finding that open adoption agreements are not legally enforceable. The document discusses the issues and complexities surrounding open adoption, including the need for clearer laws and expectations regarding the legal status of such agreements.
The document discusses the issues teens face like depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and substance abuse. It describes a group called Teens Helping Teens where a student leader provides support to teens struggling with various problems. The student leader advocates listening without judgment, encouraging treatment options, removing negative influences, and promoting self-acceptance through compliments and positive thinking.
The document discusses why multiple witnesses at a crime scene may fail to help the victim. It summarizes research on the bystander effect, which found that people are less likely to help when others are present due to two factors: 1) pluralistic ignorance, where witnesses fail to recognize an emergency situation because others are not reacting; and 2) diffusion of responsibility, where each witness feels less personally responsible when others are also present. The research suggests that to increase the chances of help, witnesses should trust their own judgment of an emergency rather than assuming others know more, and victims should directly address individuals to make them feel fully responsible.

The document summarizes issues with two empirical studies used to justify opening child dependency court proceedings to the public.
1) The researcher who designed the influential Minnesota study admitted the study had significant methodological flaws, including an advisory committee prohibiting interviews of abused children and their parents due to risk of harm, despite allowing children to testify in open court. No psychologists were consulted on potential harm to children either.
2) Recent testimony from the researcher revealed other flaws, like only investigating "extraordinary harm" without defining the term, potentially underestimating trauma. Government agencies selecting who to survey also introduced bias.
3) The studies are increasingly being challenged and may not reliably show that open proceedings do not psychologically damage
The document provides guidance on investigating cases of child maltreatment. It discusses that cases can be generated through referrals from the Department of Child Services, police reports, walk-ins, hospitals, or phone calls. Anyone with knowledge of child abuse is required to report it. The investigative process involves determining if a crime was committed and what type, collecting information on the victim, parents, and alleged abuse, interviewing those involved while documenting thoroughly, and working as a multidisciplinary team between law enforcement, DCS, and other agencies. The goal is to protect the welfare of the child.

Paper 1 The experience I wish to use to illustrate an eth.docxalfred4lewis58146
Paper 1:
The experience I wish to use to illustrate an ethical decision has to do with a doctor friend of mine, who
told me about the event several years ago.
My friend was a young medical doctor, actually just graduated from medical school. His grandfather at that
time was a very old man and had a number of ailments he was battling with. My friend was one of the
doctors who was taking care of the old man, and he was well acquainted with his situation.
One night, in fact in the middle of the night, around 2 am, my friend’s grandfather became very ill, and
emergency medical facilities like ambulances were not readily available at that time of the night. The family
was at a loss as to what to do. Then somebody remembered that one of the neighbours was working in a
hospital, either as a pharmacy technician or assistant, or some similar job description-he was not a medical
doctor, in any case. Due to the desperate situation at hand, it was suggested that this hospital staff should
be contacted and pleaded with to come and examine the old man and see whether he could help in any
way.
The hospital staff was contacted and begged to come and see the old man, and he reluctantly agreed to do
so, despite the interruption to his sleep. Upon examining the patient, the hospital staff concluded that the
man was a having a severe attack of asthma. He then went ahead and administered a drug for asthma
patients to the old man by intravenous injection. A few hours later, the old man died.
My friend the young doctor was informed the following morning on what happened to his grandfather, and
he was utterly shocked. His grandfather had never had any history of asthma-he had never in his life been
treated for asthma. No medical doctor would have prescribed that drug for that patient.
It is at this point that the ethical question arose, and there was need to make an ethical decision on what to
about this person who was not a medical doctor but went ahead to not only prescribe, but administer a
drug to this patient.
In the argument that followed this event, there were two groups with views that varied with each other.
One group argued straight away that the person in question should be prosecuted, because what he did
amounted more or less to pre-meditated murder. He should not have administered any drug to the patient,
since he was not qualified to do so. He should have concentrated on finding ways to get the patient to a
hospital.
The other group argued that this person was just acting as good Samaritan, trying to help out the ailing old
man. They saw it as an act of ingratitude to even consider prosecuting this man.
In the end, the ethical decision made was based on the Duty-based Ethical theory, since it is a universal rule
that only qualified medical personnel are to diagnose and prescribe drugs to patients, as well as administer
those drugs. The medical staff was neither of these-he was merely a te.

Here are the key points about why trademarks and patents are important to Apple:
- Trademarks protect Apple's brand identity and reputation. Its trademarks like "iPhone" and "iPad" are synonymous with Apple products and instantly signal quality and innovation to consumers. This brand loyalty and customer recognition have huge commercial value.
- Patents allow Apple to protect its technological innovations from being copied by competitors. Much of Apple's success stems from pioneering new product categories like the smartphone and tablet. Patents on technologies like multi-touch screens and minimalist designs give Apple exclusivity and a competitive edge.
- In patent infringement lawsuits, Apple has used its large patent portfolio aggressively to block competitors from copying its innovations. For example, high

The case is a demonstration of crisis within a crisis, where the external stakeholders can affect the decision-making process of an organization. The case is about a child; Josh Hardy who was battling kidney cancer since birth and through undergoing various chemotherapy treatments, his immune system weakened, leading to the development of a life-threatening respiratory virus. Josh’s parents were referred to Chimerix Company, which was a drug manufacturing company to get a drug that would save their son’s life. Comment by De Luna Zcielo Z: I would suggest that you introduce what the case is here in the beginning instead of later on.
The physician at St Jude referred the parents to Chimerix Company to seek brincidofovir for Josh’s medication. The parents made a ‘compassionate use’ request to the company. The CEO of the Company Kenneth Moch, was reluctant to approve the drug. He claimed that the company had no resources to support the investigational trials. Additionally, the company argued that the patient was very sick and that the drug might not work on him which would lead to the drug being proved ineffective. The company also questioned of its viability; if the child died the process of approval would be delayed. Comment by De Luna Zcielo Z: Th.

One experiment that always stands out in my mind in terms of ethics is Milgram’s experience on obedience and authority. Perhaps this draw comes from the almost militant quality this experiment has in the regards to how far the human psyche can be pushed in response to authoritative prompting. Another fascination I have in regards to this experiment is that Milgram sought out to test how far someone could be pushed past their own personal coconscious beliefs when prompted by an authority figure in an effort to bring some insight to the German soldiers who stated they were just following orders during the horrific events that took place during WWII. In doing so he pushed volunteers from differing backgrounds and professions to administer increasing levels of shock to another human being (or so they thought) as directed by an experiment authority figure. While no individual was actually shocked during this experiment, there was psychological harm done to those who were being directed to administer the shock. Many of these individuals had saw some of their darker potentials to inflict harm on another human being (something that they did not think they were capable of prior to this experiment) and suffered short- and long-term psychological distress as a result. While I do believe there is undeniable insight gained from this experiment and the potential we all have in respect to how far we may go when we believe or trust the person of authority above us, I can see that it came with a cost. Looking back, I think that perhaps the participants could have been better prepared by informing them that they may be put in “high-stress” situations which may affect them after the testing has been completed. I believe an immediate de-briefing could have been done to allow the participants to be fully aware that no individuals were harmed during the testing and have proper support on hand to help resolve any traumatic activations that may have taken place during the experiment, as well as long term access to these professionals should they have further questions or need further support. If I were the researcher this is the route I would have taken to ensure first and foremost my volunteer participants ar3e taken care of to the best of my ability.

This course has been a great expansion of my knowledge in regards to the influences that social culture has on the field of psychology. One element that stands out to me is the influence of pop culture and marketing persuasion on our culture. Although the documentary video we had watched covering this topic was quite dated, it was eye opening to see how far the reaches of pop culture had on the way we act and interact within our communities on a pretty deep level. It was also startling to see how far some of these major companies were willing to go to capture the next “big thing” .

Dr. Anil Netravali presented "New Petroleum Free World: Plant-Based Sustainable 'Green' Materials and Processes" at an April 2020 virtual meeting with New York State legislators and staff.
The document discusses the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on opioid misuse and treatment in the United States. It notes that while opioid prescriptions and treatment were decreasing before the pandemic, COVID-19 could reverse this progress due to pandemic-related stress, social isolation, and strain on the healthcare system. Early data from Kentucky shows increases in opioid overdoses after the state declared an emergency. In response, policies have aimed to increase access to telehealth and take-home medication to maintain treatment during the pandemic. Continued policy adjustments will be needed to address impacts on the opioid epidemic.

It is at this point that the ethical question arose, and there was need to make an ethical decision on what to
about this person who was not a medical doctor but went ahead to not only prescribe, but administer a
drug to this patient.
In the argument that followed this event, there were two groups with views that varied with each other.
One group argued straight away that the person in question should be prosecuted, because what he did
amounted more or less to pre-meditated murder. He should not have administered any drug to the patient,
since he was not qualified to do so. He should have concentrated on finding ways to get the patient to a
hospital.
The other group argued that this person was just acting as good Samaritan, trying to help out the ailing old
man. They saw it as an act of ingratitude to even consider prosecuting this man.
In the end, the ethical decision made was based on the Duty-based Ethical theory, since it is a universal rule
that only qualified medical personnel are to diagnose and prescribe drugs to patients, as well as administer
those drugs. The medical staff was neither of these-he was merely a te.

Here are the key points about why trademarks and patents are important to Apple:
- Trademarks protect Apple's brand identity and reputation. Its trademarks like "iPhone" and "iPad" are synonymous with Apple products and instantly signal quality and innovation to consumers. This brand loyalty and customer recognition have huge commercial value.
- Patents allow Apple to protect its technological innovations from being copied by competitors. Much of Apple's success stems from pioneering new product categories like the smartphone and tablet. Patents on technologies like multi-touch screens and minimalist designs give Apple exclusivity and a competitive edge.
- In patent infringement lawsuits, Apple has used its large patent portfolio aggressively to block competitors from copying its innovations. For example, high

The case is a demonstration of crisis within a crisis, where the external stakeholders can affect the decision-making process of an organization. The case is about a child; Josh Hardy who was battling kidney cancer since birth and through undergoing various chemotherapy treatments, his immune system weakened, leading to the development of a life-threatening respiratory virus. Josh’s parents were referred to Chimerix Company, which was a drug manufacturing company to get a drug that would save their son’s life. Comment by De Luna Zcielo Z: I would suggest that you introduce what the case is here in the beginning instead of later on.
The physician at St Jude referred the parents to Chimerix Company to seek brincidofovir for Josh’s medication. The parents made a ‘compassionate use’ request to the company. The CEO of the Company Kenneth Moch, was reluctant to approve the drug. He claimed that the company had no resources to support the investigational trials. Additionally, the company argued that the patient was very sick and that the drug might not work on him which would lead to the drug being proved ineffective. The company also questioned of its viability; if the child died the process of approval would be delayed. Comment by De Luna Zcielo Z: Th.

RESPONSE 1 (SYLVIA):
Part 1
One experiment that always stands out in my mind in terms of ethics is Milgram’s experience on obedience and authority. Perhaps this draw comes from the almost militant quality this experiment has in the regards to how far the human psyche can be pushed in response to authoritative prompting. Another fascination I have in regards to this experiment is that Milgram sought out to test how far someone could be pushed past their own personal coconscious beliefs when prompted by an authority figure in an effort to bring some insight to the German soldiers who stated they were just following orders during the horrific events that took place during WWII. In doing so he pushed volunteers from differing backgrounds and professions to administer increasing levels of shock to another human being (or so they thought) as directed by an experiment authority figure. While no individual was actually shocked during this experiment, there was psychological harm done to those who were being directed to administer the shock. Many of these individuals had saw some of their darker potentials to inflict harm on another human being (something that they did not think they were capable of prior to this experiment) and suffered short- and long-term psychological distress as a result. While I do believe there is undeniable insight gained from this experiment and the potential we all have in respect to how far we may go when we believe or trust the person of authority above us, I can see that it came with a cost. Looking back, I think that perhaps the participants could have been better prepared by informing them that they may be put in “high-stress” situations which may affect them after the testing has been completed. I believe an immediate de-briefing could have been done to allow the participants to be fully aware that no individuals were harmed during the testing and have proper support on hand to help resolve any traumatic activations that may have taken place during the experiment, as well as long term access to these professionals should they have further questions or need further support. If I were the researcher this is the route I would have taken to ensure first and foremost my volunteer participants ar3e taken care of to the best of my ability.

The document discusses the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on opioid misuse and treatment in the United States. It notes that while opioid prescriptions and treatment were decreasing before the pandemic, COVID-19 could reverse this progress due to pandemic-related stress, social isolation, and strain on the healthcare system. Early data from Kentucky shows increases in opioid overdoses after the state declared an emergency. In response, policies have aimed to increase access to telehealth and take-home medication to maintain treatment during the pandemic. Continued policy adjustments will be needed to address impacts on the opioid epidemic.

This document provides an overview of evidence-based programs and practices for children and families. It defines evidence-based practices as programs that have been shown through rigorous experimental evaluations like randomized controlled trials to make a positive statistical difference in important outcomes. The document then lists several organizations and clearinghouses that identify and rate evidence-based programs. It provides links to each one so readers can search for programs that meet their needs. Finally, it notes some programs are no longer actively maintained and provides alternative resources.
Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is a prescription medication that can reverse an opioid overdose by blocking opioids in the brain for 30-90 minutes. There are two forms of Narcan, a nasal spray and injectable. Non-medical individuals can effectively administer Narcan to someone experiencing an overdose. If administered to someone who is not overdosing, Narcan has no effect. At over 2,000 pharmacies in New York, a person does not need a prescription to obtain Narcan.
People who inject opioid use either needles or syringes. Other individuals, such as people who have diabetes, also use these for medical reasons. These “sharps” require safe disposal.
It is not always easy to tell when people around us are struggling with drug use. If you are concerned about someone in your life, you can look out for the following warning signs and reach out to them.
The opioid epidemic has become a public health crisis in recent years. Factors that increase the risk of opioid misuse include experiencing physical or social hardships, mental health issues, substance use, and criminal activity. Opioids are both legal and illegal drugs, including prescription medications like oxycodone and hydrocodone as well as heroin. Addiction is driven by biological changes in the body and brain that occur quickly after regular opioid use. Prevention through education is key to addressing this epidemic and reducing stigma around addiction.
This Cornell Project 2Gen in Albany event brought Cornell faculty, staff, and students to the capitol for a day-long event bridging research and policy in support of New York Families.
This research brief examines trends in opioid misuse and child welfare outcomes in New York State between 2006 and 2016. It finds that increases in opioid misuse and rates of child maltreatment were geographically concentrated, with many counties in Central NY and the Southern Tier experiencing high increases in both measures. Specifically, 17 counties saw above-median increases in both opioid emergency department admissions and reported child maltreatment rates, indicating particular vulnerability in these regions. In contrast, most counties downstate like in the Hudson Valley saw below-median increases in both measures.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Trauma-Informed Care in Family Treatment Court
1. RESEARCH BRIEF SERIES
Tompkins County Family Treatment Court
Trauma-Informed Care Opioids and Family Life Project
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Tompkins Family Treatment Court (FTC) provides assessment, referrals to services, and ongoing
monitoring for families involved in neglect proceedings related to parental substance misuse. Researchers
from the Cornell Project 2Gen Opioids and Family Life Project interviewed 21 current and former
participants to learn about their experiences with the program. The sample of 15 women and six men1
included respondents from before and after the Court implemented a series of changes—including a
transition from phases to more clearly defined milestones—in an effort to be more trauma-informed. This
brief explores participant experiences with elements of trauma-informed care2
in Family Treatment Court:
• Safety Beyond widespread praise for the Court’s “Taking Care of Me” milestone, there was notable
variation in the extent to which participants felt Family Treatment Court ensured their physical and
emotional safety. Several respondents described threats posed by abusive or potentially abusive
partners or exes. Some participants also felt they were a danger to themselves in times of distress.
Custody loss and separation were extremely emotionally traumatic for parents.
• Transparency and Trustworthiness Participants generally felt that Family Treatment Court was
transparent. They found most expectations clear and their limited confusions easy to clarify. Court
milestones were central to perceptions of transparency. A subset of respondents identified select
instances they believed the Court was purposefully not transparent for participants’ benefit.
Sometimes, the Court’s conflicting roles of support and surveillance could make it harder to trust.
• Fairness Sometimes respondents resented the Court for applying standards inconsistently. Other
times, they faulted the Court for not attending more closely to the nuances of individual cases. Many
criticized the Court’s drug screens, citing faulty tests and unfair penalties faced for questionable
results. But while respondents sometimes perceived mismatches between their actions and the
Court’s reactions, most did not believe their social identities influenced how the Court treated them.
• Peer Support While some Court participants relied on each other for support and motivation, many
others felt peer relationships invited drama or put them at risk for relapse. Respondents who
avoided fellow Court participants found alternative sources of support in groups like Alcoholics and
Narcotics Anonymous, or outside the recovery community altogether.
• Collaboration and Empowerment Family Treatment Court participants’ experiences of agency—the
degree to which they felt involved in decision-making and able to exert control over their cases—
varied widely, both across cases and within them. Several respondents reported a lack of control, but
seemed to feel that it was acceptable, or even appropriate. Many participants felt their degree of
control and the role they played in making decisions about their case increased, appropriately, as
they progressed through the program.

The elements discussed here map closely but not exactly onto the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s
six key principles of trauma-informed care: https://ncsacw.samhsa.gov/userfiles/files/SAMHSA_Trauma.pdf.
2. SAFETY
Family Treatment Court’s “Taking Care of Me” milestone promoted feelings of safety and well-being among
program participants. Its appointment requirements taught them to attend to aspects of their health they
had often neglected while using. As one participant noted, “I believe that's a good milestone to have.
Because you're – as an addict . . . you need to make sure that you're – that [using] hasn't damage damaged
your body.”
Beyond widespread praise for “Taking Care of Me,” there was notable variation in the extent to which
participants felt Family Treatment Court ensured their physical and emotional safety. Several respondents
described threats posed to themselves or others by abusive or potentially abusive partners or exes. Feelings
of safety—or lack thereof—in the face of these threats were often tied to orders of protection. One
respondent praised the Court for helping participants who needed OPs secure them, but several others
faulted the Court for failing to effectively address OP violations. For example, one respondent reported FTC
allowed the man whom a friend and fellow participant had an OP against to be in the courtroom while the
friend was there, which “really tore [the friend] down.” Another described the Court’s limited response
when the person they had an OP against kept showing up at the same weekly meetings: “I kept telling them
that and they're like, oh, well just schedule different times, make sure you two don't see each other. And
then [the aggressor] would change [their] time.”
Some participants also felt they were a danger to themselves in times of distress, and they held the Court
responsible for this. For example, one participant remembered learning their graduation had been
postponed:
“The day of graduation they told me. You know, that hurt me. That was extreme. I remember
crossing the street without looking both ways . . . That's how I felt. I just felt like I didn't care . . . I've
worked so hard and this is what they do to me. I felt like I was walking off a cliff.”
Another recalled having their children taken away a second time after a drug screen they maintained was a
false positive:
“I wanted to run my car into a tree after [they] did that to me . . . Like, you can't let somebody go and
get behind a wheel. I couldn't even see out of my eyes, that's how bad I was crying. And they let me
go drive, in a state of mind that I shouldn't have been in.”
Losing custody was emotionally traumatic for many parents. While Child Protective Services was responsible
for initially removing children, respondents frequently discussed both removal and the Court-monitored
period of separation that followed in the context of FTC. For example, one parent reflected: “What you feel
like when you enter the program is you feel threatened. You feel like your kids are being dangled over your
head.” Another echoed, “they hang your kids over your head . . . It's not an okay thing. They don't realize
how much damage they do to them children when they do take them from their parents.”
Other participants described how the uncertainty and powerlessness they experienced with the Court
determining access to their children compromised their emotional safety. For example, one participant
described the difficulty of not knowing if or when they would get their child back: “It's the worst [expletive]
feeling in the world. It’s awful. It feels like somebody ripped your soul out and was holding it hostage.”
Another faulted the Court for failing to intervene when their children’s guardian interfered with visitation: “I
wasn't allowed really to see my children as much as I should've because of the person that has them doesn’t
really like me for some ungodly reason . . . I didn't feel emotional safety . . . I was broke down pretty much
because of not being able to see the children.”
3. TRANSPARENCY
Participants generally felt that Family Treatment Court was transparent. They found most expectations clear
and their limited confusions easy to clarify. As one respondent described, “Everything was written in front of
you. If you had a question about it, you could call, and boop, boop, there was – it was there. They were
there to answer.” Court milestones were central to these perceptions of transparency. Two of the three
respondents who reported issues with transparency participated before the Court transitioned from phases
to milestones. Another respondent with knowledge of phases and milestones offered this comparison:
“I was so happy when, a couple weeks ago I found out that Felony Court is going from phases to
milestones. Because when we finish these milestones – let's put it this way. You finish a phase, you
have to wait four months. Doesn't matter what you do. You can do everything you need to for that
phase in two weeks, but you're still waitin' four months before you phase up. Milestones, like give
me concrete answers. Like if I do all of this, am I done with this and on to the next one. And [that]
was nice about the milestones. I always knew what I had to do.”
A subset of respondents identified select instances they believed the Court was purposefully not transparent
for participants’ benefit. For example, one participant noted that FTC “lead[s] you on at the beginning,” but
saw this as strategic: “They're doing it to see if you . . . maintain sobriety.” Another felt tricked into doing
inpatient, but retrospectively believed “it was the best thing [the Court] could've done.” These comments
demonstrate that participants’ feelings toward the Court could be positive despite a lack of transparency.
The Court and other service providers’ dual responsibilities as sources of support and oversight, however,
were barriers to trust. As one respondent reflected, “As much as I love [Court Coordinator] Mindy, I couldn’t
trust her with a lot, and I knew I couldn’t trust her with a lot because she’s required to report those things.”
Another remembered, “I don’t think I was really open about how much I wanted to die. That was something
I definitely kept inside because I figured . . . my counselor would have to report to Family Treatment Court
. . . [and] I was worried that they would use that against me.”
FAIRNESS
Sometimes respondents resented the Court for applying standards inconsistently. They particularly resented
the Court’s discretion regarding graduations. One noted that “Other people that were smoking illegal
marijuana [K2] and passing their screens . . . graduated a graduation before us,” while another expressed
frustration at “witness[ing] [the Court] graduate active users.” Other times, respondents faulted the Court
for not attending more closely to the nuances of individual cases. These perspectives were not mutually
exclusive. For example, one respondent who temporarily—and, they felt, unfairly—lost custody maintained:
“Some people can still function and take care of their kids [while using] . . . I could. We had
everything that we needed. We didn't want for nothing. There's people out there still that were in
Family Treatment Court and being investigated right now, and she still has her [explicative] kids. It's –
it's unreal. The system is crazy here, and I tell them all about it every time I have a chance to.”
Another participant voiced similar frustration that the Court did not distinguish more between different
substances and their varying effects on daily functioning:
“I had never smoked crack in my life. I'd done coke a few times. I'm not a meth person. I'm not a
needle – none of that, okay. So, why is it I have to go to all these classes that all these people are
going to when I'm just a pothead, all right? They categorize everybody as if we're all one person and
instead of sitting us down to help us actually progress and excel.”
4. Many participants also criticized the Court’s drug screens, reporting frequent false positives and that the
Court sometimes acted hastily and unfairly in response to contestable results. For example, one participant
described the Court halting visitations following questionable screens:
“So I've tested positive for cocaine and it wasn't in my system and they punished me for it. And I
know several other participants that were punished and their tests were funky . . . and they like cut
off your visit just like that. You're not allowed to see your kids now . . . And it's like wow. You guys,
that's your guys' fuck-up. Like wow. That's horrible. Like, you need to have legit tests.”
Participants were hurt by the skepticism they faced when they contested unreliable tests’ results, or tried to
explain that the tests were detecting prescriptions. One participant shared, “I would hope they would have
more trust into people when it came to drug screening . . . I was sober for a while and they still didn't believe
me when it came to that, which really bothered me.” Another remembered that “the only bad experience”
they had with the Judge was after testing positive for opiates they were given for a medical procedure: “He
maybe got upset and thought I was lying and I was like I am like I'm not lying. I don’t know what to tell you
. . . it is hard when like you're telling the truth and then they don't believe you.”
But while respondents sometimes perceived mismatches between their actions and the Court’s reactions,
most did not believe their social identities influenced those experiences: When asked if they felt factors
about themselves as a person had affected how they were treated by the Court, two-thirds of them said no.
A minority of respondents perceived differential treatment3
based on race, gender or relationship status,
while two others reported discrimination based on past involvement with the child welfare and criminal
justice systems.
Across the sample more broadly, participants did not want to be defined by their pasts, but did want their
experiences considered in context. When they experienced this, they were very grateful. As one respondent
remembered, “When [Judge Rowley] would come to Court, I [felt] like I wasn't just a case number to him. I
[felt] like he really took into consideration . . . all the aspects that went into what I was dealing with.”
PEER SUPPORT
SAMHSA’s principles of trauma-informed care4
see “[p]eer support and mutual self-help [as] key vehicles for
establishing safety and hope, building trust, enhancing collaboration, and utilizing . . . stories and lived
experience to promote recovery and healing.” Interviews suggest the reality in Family Treatment Court was
more complex. While some Court participants relied on each other for support and motivation, many others
felt peer relationships invited drama or put them at risk for relapse5
:
“I say when you're going to the Family Treatment Court, have no friends . . . keep friends that are not
in that program, because that caused me a lot of drama . . . You've gotta focus on you, and just stay
away from all the bullshit.”
“In the beginning, I relied on them [peers] to get high, 'cause we all were still getting high together.
Towards the ending, I stopped talking to every single Family Treatment patient there was because we
all held each other down badly. And that's something I tried explaining to Family Treatment Court.
Listen, you stick us all together, we're not going to succeed.”’

5. Respondents who avoided fellow Court participants often turned elsewhere. Many found outpatient
treatment groups—particularly Alcoholics Anonymous—more reliable sources of peer support. One
respondent shared: “I had like a rule, I wasn't really gonna rely on a lot of the people in FTC, I was gonna rely
on people at AA. People who I know are getting better and you can see it and you can feel it.” Another
echoed the sentiment, reflecting they “never” relied on fellow Court participants but rather “sought out
people who were more in AA.” Others looked beyond the treatment community altogether, turning
“elsewhere where [they] felt more comfortable,” like to family members.
COLLABORATION AND EMPOWERMENT
Family Treatment Court participants’ experiences of agency—the degree to which they felt involved in
decision-making and able to exert control of their cases—varied widely, both across cases and within them.
Some respondents reported largely positive or negative experiences with control, while almost half
expressed mixed or neutral ones.
Several respondents reported a lack of control, but seemed to feel that it was acceptable, or even
appropriate. For example, one person reflected that the Court “control[s] everything in your life” when you
first start the program, but added: “I don’t think it’s too much.” Someone else reflected that they had “not a
lot [of control] in the beginning, which [was] understandable” given they were in rehab with their “mind not
completely where it should be.”
Similar beliefs that practitioners could have perspective they lacked, and would act on that perspective in
their best interests, lead several respondents to accept certain limits on their control. For example, another
participant shared: “If I’ve asked for it [and] 50 percent of the team does not agree with me, that means
[it’s] because I’m not ready. [But] if 50 percent or more agrees with me, and the other 40 don’t, then I’m
gonna fight.”
Many participants felt their degree of control and the role they played in making decisions about their case
increased, appropriately, as they progressed through the program. In the words of one respondent, “[T]hey
gradually give you control back, but when you first go there, no. You don't have control of shit. But, that's on
you.”
Feelings of agency changed over time, but also varied based on whom participants engaged with. For
example, one respondent reported that their judge and lawyer involved them in decisions “100 percent,”
while their caseworker didn’t involve them at all. Another described how their experience changed with staff
turnover: “A caseworker didn't [involve me in decisions] up until I got [a different caseworker]. Once I got
[them], everyone was on the same page.” These reflections suggest control—or lack thereof—was
something participants experienced within specific relationships with program actors rather than as a
feature of the program overall.
6. APPENDIX: PERCEPTIONS OF DISCRIMINATION IN FAMILY TREATMENT COURT
SAMHSA’s guidelines for trauma-informed care emphasizes attention to cultural, historical, and gender
issues. This principle is not detailed above because a majority (two-thirds) of respondents did not believe
factors about themselves as a person affected how they were treated by the Court. However, some
respondents did perceive discrimination based on the following factors:
• Race One respondent felt judged for their race and for being in a mixed-race relationship. Another
believed a friend’s children were in the child welfare system because they were mixed-race. But, this
respondent did not witness differential treatment by Judge Rowley or Mindy and did not believe they
“judge like that [based on race.]” Finally, one respondent who felt personal factors did not influence
their experience qualified, “I’m lucky. I’m white.” However, this respondent did not give specific
examples of race-based differential treatment in Family Treatment Court, so their comment may
simply reflect an awareness of structural racism in society more broadly.
• Gender One respondent criticized FTC for operating based the stereotype that men are always the
perpetrators of domestic violence. This respondent reported he was “made [to] have to sit down and
say that [he] did something that [he] didn’t do” before he could complete the domestic violence
program he was assigned, and that his trial discharge was cancelled “because [he] said men can be a
victim of domestic violence, too.” (In response to this comment, a staffer told him he “was in denial
of things that [he] did.”) A few other respondents reported gender-based discrimination, but
disagreed as to whether men or women were disadvantaged; one reported “the female clients . . .
get a little bit more special attention,” while another reflected she “was expected more of because
[she] was a mom.”
• Relationship Status One respondent felt her ex and his wife were given more privileges because they
were married. Specifically, she resented that her child’s stepmother was granted full visiting rights as
soon she married the child’s father, while her partner “had to work to get his visitations up.” This
respondent described the differential treatment she and her partner received relative to her ex and
his wife was her “biggest issue” with the program.
• Personal History: One respondent whose older children were adopted out prior to their time in FTC
felt the program held this against them: “It affected it. It did. People say it doesn't. The [explicative] it
doesn't. They use that as, like, I'm not ready to be out of their program because I already lost [my
older] kids.” Another felt FTC would be improved by “not [using] people’s pasts against them,”
sharing that their partner had “past CPS history, past domestic violence history, things like that, but
[the Court] need[s] to judge you on who you are today.” Finally, one respondent felt their education
“definitely put [them] [at] an advantage,” but attributed this to their ability to “to relay and
communicate a little bit better” rather than to direct Court favoritism.
