The state of Wisconsin has recognized the Dunn County Family Treatment Court for helping to keep families together.
Officials with the county Family Treatment Court (FTC) have been informed that it was chosen to receive one of the inaugural Secretary’s Putting Families First Awards for 2024 from the state Department of Children and Families.
The Family Treatment Court serves individuals who are at risk of having their children removed due to child abuse or neglect, when alcohol or other substances contributed to the allegations. Parents who participate in the program receive substance use treatment, mental health services, are tested for drug and alcohol use, regularly meet with a Family Treatment Court team, attend court hearings and participate in other services as necessary.
