This session acquaints participants with proven strategies for child welfare cases in DSS court with a focus on the Family Accountability and Recovery Court (FARC) — a program for parents, guardians or caretakers who are involved with DSS or struggle with substance use.

FARC provides treatment, intensive care management, and judicial supervision to increase the likelihood of reunification of families or positive outcomes for parents and children. Due to its success, FARC was recently selected as one of nine Rural Innovation Sites by the Rural Justice Collaborative Advisory Council in partnership with the National Center of State Courts.

Judge Heath has been the leader of FARC since its inception 16 years ago.
