ALL RISE Judge Clark Tyler Court

ALL RISE: For the Good of the Children takes you inside the courtroom of an unconventional judge in East Texas who takes a trust-based, trauma-informed approach to healing broken families in the child welfare system. Two families share how their lives were transformed through the support and intervention offered by Judge Carole Clark and her team of lawyers, mental health experts and child advocates. 

Because of neglect and abuse allegations, nearly 49,000 children in Texas lived outside of their homes in substitute care in 2017.

Only thirty percent of the children removed from their homes in 2017 were reunited with their families.

One court in rural Texas is changing these odds by rebuilding broken families through a trauma-informed approach to child welfare cases.
