Travis County Family Drug Treatment Court: Parenting in Recovery

Pictures from 2025 Child Welfare Judges Conference hosted by the Texas Center for the Judiciary

Judge Martinez Jones, Capriesha Whitley, Lori Linn, and Vaughan Gilmore presented on "Using Lessons from the Family Drug Treatment Court Model to Address Recovery in Child Welfare Cases" at the 2025 Child Welfare Judges Conference hosted by the Texas Center for the Judiciary.

Travis County Health and Human Services and the Parenting in Recovery / Family Drug Treatment Court had an amazing time at Recovery in the Park this Saturday. I want to thank Capriesha and Lori for their wonderful work at the event.
And a huge thank you to the organizers and sponsors of the event. They did wonderful work putting it all together!
I also want to thank all the people in long term recovery, treatment providers, community organizations, and family members who showed up to have fun and demonstrate the power of recovery during this National Recovery Month.
