Court Programs & Partnerships

Ottawa County Juvenile Court and its partners believe that families should be supported in raising their own children whenever feasible.
Programs are designed to prevent formal court involvement for youth who have no previous court history, address present negative behaviors with the youth and their parents by providing short-term interventions, and provide comprehensive services and supports for more intensive behavioral issues.
