The Jefferson County Family Court Programs Division has the responsibility of providing ancillary services to the families referred. This division develops manages and evaluates programs designed to support the two-fold purpose of this court. The programs aid in deterring further delinquent behavior, while providing accountability for the youths. Specific programs are also designed to enhance the protection of the community. Family Court is a "partner" in the collaborative effort with many other Birmingham and Jefferson County community and government agencies in order to develop new programs or coordinate existing programs without duplicating services.
