An Ohio Supreme Court justice appeared in Lima to talk with residents on the network of veteran treatment courts across the state.
Justice Sharon Kennedy has been traveling across the state in order to promote veteran treatment courts, which aim to help veterans who return from service and are suffering from PTSD and other issues.
Kennedy says that she has had many conversations with leaders in the state in order to advance the court to the level it needs to be to help veterans.
"Being able to have this conversation with judges has led me to an opportunity to train 84 of 88 sheriffs, to train 250 probation and parole officers from across the state, to get them to meet the Veterans Justice Outreach coordinators that work in the VA systems across Ohio," said Kennedy. "So that they can actually put a face to a name, and they can make this professional connection to help seamlessly help veterans."
Kennedy is also running for Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court and will appear on the ballot this coming November.
