On Jan. 21–22, the Broward Dependency Drug Court (DDC) welcomed a two-day site visit from Yonaery “JoJo” Ramos, DDC Statewide Coordinator from the Office of the State Courts Administrator (OSCA), to observe and support the court’s multidisciplinary team.
The visit was hosted by Hon. Hope Tieman Bristol, DDC & Unified Family Administrative Judge, along with Trent Baker, Beth Plotkin, and Toni Baxter, who presented on Florida’s Best Practice Standards and led meaningful discussions with DDC stakeholders.
Also joining the visit were Early Childhood Court (ECC) Statewide Coordinator Lisa Maddocks and Dr. Kimberly Renk, who guided reflective conversations on strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration and applying a trauma-informed approach when working with court participants and families.
An outstanding two days of learning, collaboration, and shared commitment to better outcomes for children and families. An amazing event, all the way around!
