Matt Kurowsky and Ian Nutt Promoted to Regional Directors
In February, JusticeWorks promoted two of its very own, Ian Nutt and Matt Kurowsky, as Regional Directors. Ian and Matt have ‘big shoes’ to fill, as they will be replacing former Regional Director, Errone Cody. Errone’s region had grown so large, and sprawling, that we decided to break it into two. We wish Ms. Cody well in her new role with the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts. Five years ago, Ian began his career with JusticeWorks as a Program Director in Lycoming County, PA as the only staff member for the region. Ian’s abilities as the Program Director resulted in...
A Message From Our Founder
A message from our Founder, Mr. Dan Heit, in response to the Coronavirus pandemic: Hi All, I know you are concerned to outright terrified. Whatever your feeling tone, it is justified.

I only have one goal at the moment: to realize our motto to ‘build better futures’. That means JusticeWorks will survive and we will maintain as much employment as possible. We all know that when we get...
Another Successful Family Group Decision Making Conference (FGDM) in Indiana County!
Email received from an Indiana County CYS Caseworker, Tara Lieb: "Good morning! I just wanted to tell you what an amazing job Erica Wier and Mylea Caldwell-Parker did yesterday at the FGDM.

We were able to drop the emergency custody of the child and place him back with his family. Also, Erica and Mylea did an awesome job contacting the family on such short notice. Carey Sabo and I wanted to...
A Life Well Lived: Westmoreland’s Rachael Johnston (1983-2020)
You may not have known Rachael Johnston, but what she has accomplished at JusticeWorks exemplified our mission and values. Her dedication was an inspiration for us all. It is with a grievous heart that we must say goodbye. Tragically, we lost a member of our JusticeWorks family, Rachel Johnston, of our Westmoreland County branch. She passed from a previously undiagnosed medical condition. Amber Stewart, Westmoreland Program Director, shares her remembrance of Rachael: It is with a heavy heart that I write this email…. Rachael Johnston suddenly passed away on Thursday, Feb. 20. 2020....
Praise for a JusticeWorks Family Finding Coordinator in Lehigh County!
Email received from a Lehigh County CYS Caseworker to JusticeWorks Supervisor, Whitney Berrio: Hi Whitney: I want to give you the following details as to why Jade Richetta, Family Finding Coordinator, has done an outstanding job on the Andrew/Roberts* case. It has been a very arduous family engagement process for providers. At times, the father is unapproachable. His tough demeanor tends to intimidate caseworkers. However, Jade accepted the challenge and was able to engage with the family, resulting in a scheduled Family Group Decision Making conference. Jade stays in...
