Family Justice is committed to:

"Families become a critical part of the equation as men, women, and youth, whose lives have become entwined with the criminal justice system due to addiction or mental illness, reenter the community."

- Charles G. Curie, Administrator, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Working with partners

By partnering with government agencies, community-based organizations, families and others, Family Justice can build on and enhance existing activities, producing synergies that benefit all parties.

Fostering systemic, sustainable change

Family Justice provides tools, training and other resources so that family-based approaches are integrated into criminal justice practice.

Earning authority and credibility through daily practice

With a track record of achievement in practice, Family Justice is well-positioned to work on behalf of families and neighborhoods in a variety of settings and circumstances.

Learning and evolving through innovation

Family Justice continually refines, adapts, and incorporates into its work the lessons it has learned both in its Lower East Side storefront and around the country.
