PA Families Inc. offers guidance and support for individuals navigating probation, court, and legal challenges. We provide resources, legal aid, and advocacy to help you understand your rights and achieve the best possible outcomes. Probation/Court/Legal In June 2010, at the annual strategic planning meeting, the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Council of Chief Juvenile Probation Officers and The Juvenile Court Judges Commission (JCJC) agreed to develop the Juvenile Justice System Enhancement Strategy (JJSES ) . Shortly thereafter, the JJSES Statement of Purpose was developed to outline our vision: We dedicate ourselves to working in partnership to enhance the capacity of Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system to achieve its balanced and restorative justice mission by employing evidence-based practices, with fidelity, at every stage of the juvenile justice process; collecting and analyzing the data necessary to measure the results of these efforts; and with this knowledge, strive to continuously improve the quality of our decisions, services, and programs. Over the last decade, the juvenile justice system has been retraining and retooling to incorporate evidence-based practices. While the JJSES has fundamentally altered the operation of Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system, our sights remain firmly fixed on the BARJ goals. Evidence-based practices do not supplant BARJ; rather, they bolster our ability to attain BARJ goals - - Advancing BARJ through JJSES . The Chiefs' Council remains committed to achieving these goals in partnership with the following; Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, Bureau of Juvenile Justice Services, Department of Human Services, Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research, Pennsylvania Council of Children, Youth & Family Services, Office of Victim Advocate, and the citizens of Pennsylvania.

Finding your community—parents who have the same concerns and challenges that you're facing, who understand and don't judge—is very comforting. That's why we offer a variety of parent groups so you can find your community, a respectful group that understand s your worries, validates your feelings, and shares its wisdom. People from all over the country join our virtual parent groups because they share one common thread: they are the parent or primary caregiver of a child who is struggling with their mental health. The group is run by family support partners and volunteer parent facilitators trained in the Circle of Parents model. Facilitators are not clinicians or experts in parenting; they're simply parents/primary caregivers raising children with challenges just like you. Groups adopt their own rules, which include confidentiality and a judgment-free forum. Join the Secondary Transition Mastermind! Parents United: Mastering Transition Together! This year, we are hosting a year-long support group focusing on preparing your child for life after high school, ages 14 - 22. To join our Mastering Transition Together group, click here *Please note: Parent Connect meetings offer a private space for parents/primary caregivers and are NOT open to observers or individuals sharing their service information under any circumstances. https://www.paparentandfamilyalliance.org/transitionmastermind

The Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, Inc.(COPAA) celebrates a major victory for students with disabilities and their families. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 on June 12, 2025 in A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools in favor of the family of a student with a disability, holding that “ADA and [Section 504] Rehabilitation Act claims based on educational services should be subject to the same standards that apply in other disability discrimination contexts. ” Thanks to today’s ruling, students with disabilities and their families bringing civil rights claims against their school districts for disability discrimination will no longer have to meet the uniquely high and burdensome standard of proving that school officials acted with bad faith or gross misjudgment. This high standard has been applied by several circuit courts of appeals over the last four decades. Read the entire article here .
