Judge Rosie Gonzalez joins us for an enlightening conversation on tackling family violence and child abuse in Bexar County, San Antonio. With her extensive background in both social work and law, Judge Rosie provides invaluable insights into these pressing issues, emphasizing the importance of viewing them as behavioral rather than gender-specific problems. At the heart of our discussion is the innovative Reflejo Court, which focuses on addressing unresolved childhood trauma in first-time offenders with substance abuse histories, aiming to break the cycle of violence through comprehensive rehabilitation.Our episode further explores the transformative power of treatment courts like Bexar County's Reflejo Court, which has overcome significant political challenges and gained legislative support through House Bill 3529. Celebrated as the Texas Association of Specialty Courts' Treatment Court of the Year for 2024, this pioneering court not only earned national recognition with the first trauma certification but also sets a precedent for reducing crime and victimization across generations. We also reflect on the vital role of community awareness, adapting the military's challenge coin tradition to encourage proactive reporting of family violence and promoting alternative parenting strategies that eschew physical punishment.Finally, we share a personal journey of resilience and love, highlighting Judge Rosie's upbringing and the impactful stories within the LGBTQIA community.
