“And today we're talking about some grief counseling and some trauma things that we deal with, both in our personal lives as well as our professional lives, dealing with the community and dealing with the cases that we have today,” said Judge Kohlrieser.
“We're very supportive of the Allen County Children's Services Board and the assistance that they provide not only to the children, but to the families that are in need,” Kohlrieser said. “We're hoping to help combat any issues of neglect or dependency, to help these families that are in crisis, to show a little support and hopefully benefit them in some way.”
