Youth Offender Court: Judge Kerns' Unique Approach to Addiction Recovery

The program is so successful, because you've hit on a lot of really key things. We believe that the kids or the participants are addicted to drugs and we believe the family members are addicted to the kids, and so we deal with both dependents in the court so that, let's say, at The End Of Two Years, if the participant goes out and uses at least, we got the family, their life back.
Ever heard of a court that treats the whole family, not just the offender? Welcome to YO Court in Las Vegas, where Judge Kerns and his team are doing things differently. In this episode of 'KellyApy - The Self Help Podcast', Kelly Mahony sits down with Judge Kerns to explore how this unconventional court is making waves in the world of addiction recovery.
YO Court combines recreational therapy, group sessions, and even incarceration to help young offenders and their families break free from addiction's grip. Judge Kerns shares compelling stories and practical insights into how they retrain the brains of these young individuals, setting them on a path to a brighter future. This episode dives deep into the biology of addiction, the importance of family involvement, and the qualities needed to support addicts effectively.
