Setting up your program
There are many reasons to have a Protein for All program.
For example, when parents eat before shelter care hearings, their brains have the fuel needed to be more engaged and less reactive. It’s easier for them to take in important information and engage further in the complicated dependency court process. When parents can be more solution-oriented, court administrators and lawyers often report that it’s less stressful to engage with them because they are less emotionally reactive.
This translates into less secondary trauma and less burnout for everyone in the system. This effect is tangible enough that many lawyers and administrators have supplied protein bars and shakes out of their own pockets to keep these programs going.
Protein for All programs positively impact the court system in many other ways. Are there specific goals you hope to achieve when setting up a program in your court?
