Consultation at a Long-Term Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Facility

Several years ago, when I became a case manager at a long-term residential substance abuse treatment facility for pregnant women and mothers, I was introduced to retired Judge Jay Bryan as a coach and resource for our women and families. We worked out a system in which I was able to reach out to Judge Bryan to schedule Zoom meetings with any of our clients who had involvement with the court system, whether it be related to criminal charges, civil matters, domestic violence, family court, custody problems, or other matters. He provided this service to our women out of the kindness of his heart, and was always happy to help however he could.

When I sat in on these meetings, I loved watching Judge Bryan coach my clients, many of whom carry significant trauma from their pasts; he always held discussion in such a warm and gentle manner, creating a safe space for these women to share only what they felt comfortable sharing about their situations. Judge Bryan has helped so many of my clients in a variety of ways: offering advice, support, and tips for clients with upcoming court cases; providing information and connection to resources for expungement services and license restoration for individuals with no income; reviewing cases, files, and documents to help my clients understand what options they have; and just being a calm, encouraging voice in stressful and uncertain times.

This program—clinical staff and clients alike—have nothing but gratitude for Judge Bryan’s support, knowledge, understanding, and kindness. I would recommend his services to anybody in a heartbeat, and feel fully confident that I have placed them in good hands.
