A Kind Note from a York County Mother
To Whom It May Concern: My son was assigned to a caseworker from Justice Works. At the time he was assigned to Justice Works I felt that my son and I did not need your services but it was court ordered and did not have a choice but to work with your organization. I was completely wrong. Once I met Brian Hanson, he explained in detail about how Justice Works Youth Care will help myself and my son. Thank you for Brian Hanson, my son does not respond to male figures but to my delight and surprise relates to Brian. It has only been a month and a half and I have seen Cody...
Our Ellen Miller in York Does Great… Again!
FRS received nickname the “It Girl”……. And carried on the “Whatever it takes motto!" A family was moved from an unfit residence in Harrisburg, to a fabulous FISH home in York County.

Sarah ran two weeks prior to the family’s court hearing where recommendations were that client be released to mom’s care. The judge was not satisfied with just returning Sarah home, so the FRS, CYF and the family put a plan in place to...

Double Down on Service Excellence in Berks County!!
I wanted to take a moment to recognize the work of Samantha Brehm. Ms. Brehm has been working with a family for some time and the father was recently released from jail. Ms. Brehm was able to increase the amount of time she spent with the family to assist the father in obtaining a job. The father has a great deal of difficulty reading and completing job applications so Ms. Brehm spent much of her time helping complete the applications. Ms. Brehm’s hard work paid off and the father got a job! The only problem was that the father had to start the job the next day and needed a pair of...
