The Nassau County Family Treatment Court (NFTC) proposes to enhance specialized services for Spanish-speaking families affected by substance use disorders who are involved in the child welfare system due to abuse or neglect allegations. The project aims to address the lack of linguistically and culturally appropriate parenting education, family therapy, and support services currently available to this underserved population in Nassau County.
