In October, Cobb County Juvenile Court held a Lunch and Learn event in partnership with Evidence Based Associates (EBA). The session was attended by Juvenile Court staff and management. Attendees received insights into Multi-systemic Therapy (MST) and Functional Family Therapy (FFT) services provided by mental health professionals from Grace Harbour Behavioral Health.
MST and FFT are evidence-based behavioral health interventions aimed at assisting youth involved in the Juvenile Justice system. These services receive funding from the Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant (JJIG), through the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) of Georgia. This grant has been supporting evidence-based services for families associated with Cobb County Juvenile Court for nearly ten years.
