Mental wellness court | News, Sports, Jobs

I felt the need to have to clear up some misinformation that was printed not too long ago. Former congressman and Republican nominee for District Lawyer Tom Marino stated he wanted to start out a Mental Wellness Court in Lycoming County having said that, 1 currently exists. Former Judge Gray ran Mental Wellness Court and upon his retirement former Judge Lovecchio was to take more than Mental Wellness Court but decided it wasn’t in his nor Mental Wellness Courts greatest interest to.

As President Judge, Judge Butts knew this remedy court was crucial to be continued so she added it to her currently complete court schedule. I was fortunate to perform as Judge Butts assistant in Lycoming County, she is not only the President Judge and Criminal Judge, but she also operates all 4 Lycoming County Therapy Courts which consist of Drug, DUI, Veterans and Mental Wellness Court. For these courts to be profitable, she performs closely with the District Lawyer, probation officers certain to every Therapy Court and agencies that are certain to the desires of every Therapy Court. So, you see, Mental Wellness Court currently operates in Lycoming County but as most issues in life, there can normally be improvements.
