In 2017, Advancing Justice cemented a partnership with Sesame Street in Communities designed to enhance treatment courts’ ability to serve children and families. The compassionate, service-centered approach of treatment courts and the world-renowned, quality curriculum of Sesame Street have proven to be a perfect match.
Together, we have provided justice and treatment professionals with free educational tools, family-centered resources and child-friendly play spaces to better serve justice-involved families. From the adults who have no choice but to bring their children to court appointments because they cannot afford childcare, to the little ones who need help understanding what it means for mommy or daddy to be in recovery, this partnership helps bridge the gap for a precious segment of our population who often go overlooked and underserved.
This collaboration is just one of the ways Advancing Justice is paving the way for broad, high-impact justice reform.
