A note from a Westmoreland family member
Hello, On behalf of my niece Jane Jones, I want to let you know what a wonderful job Christine King has done during the time that she spent with Jane. From the fall of 2012 to now, Chris has been a priceless resource. She established a rapport of trust with Jane early on that gave my niece stability despite a volatile home situation.

The children were very shy and did not speak to Tenisha unless the mother directed them to do so. It was difficult for Mom to adhere to her prescribed mental health treatment, but Tenisha helped her to recognize and prevent triggers that would contribute to a decline in her overall mental health. In addition, Mom struggled with memory loss and often forgot to take her medication, attend appointments, and pick up her children from school or other activities. Tenisha...
A Lesson Learned Well in Washington County
Rebecca Holbrook is the JusticeWorks Truancy Remediation Specialist for Washington County. She began working with “Joey” in December of 2012. “Joey’s” primary goal was to understand the importance of attending school as he had struggled with truancy the prior year.

Rebecca helped him become motivated to get back on track and enjoy living a more productive...
