Improving
Justice for
Parents and
Families, Inc.
(IJ)
is a
not-for-profit
corporation
formed to
enhance the
mission of RC4
and to support
the needs of its
indigent clients
and their
families. Given
the restrictive
funding and
limited
resources of
state agencies,
the
reunification of
parents and
their children
is often
hindered by
obstacles that
could be
alleviated
through
additional,
private monies
or donation of
services.
Through
charitable
donations, fund
raising events,
grant awards,
and service
drives, IJ
supports parents
who are engaged
in efforts to
rehabilitate
themselves and
to stabilize
their families.
Basic need items
IJ may be able
to offer clients
and family
members include
transportation-related
expenses (bus &
train fares,
vehicle
repairs),
housing-related
expenses
(back-rent,
utility
deposits,
cleaning
services), as
well as health
and
wellness-related
expenses and
fees (substance
abuse and mental
health
evaluations,
admissions,
treatment and
counseling;
medical
therapies and
prescriptions
for the
uninsured and
underinsured).
Moreover, IJ
aims to offer
positive
experiences for
families such as
Reunification
Day
celebrations,
graduations, and
other family
milestones.
Additionally, IJ
supports the
work of parents'
attorneys by
providing
opportunities
for training and
professional
enhancement
including
conference
programming,
such as
Florida's First
Comprehensive
CLE Conference
for Parent
Representation
in Dependency
Court held in
Palm Beach
Gardens on May
15-16, 2015.
