-TeamChild/Kids in School Rule!: In partnership with Hamilton County Juvenile Court, Children’s Services, and local public schools, Legal Aid’s TeamChild attorneys obtain school support and mental health services for youth caught up in the juvenile justice system so they return to and remain in school, and avoid further court involvement.

Families also get legal assistance, such as representation in housing and family law disputes, to help establish a stable home environment.
-Safety Net and Work Support Benefits: Legal Aid assists unemployed working people, veterans, and individuals with disabilities who need help to prevent a termination or denial of income benefits, and gain access to childcare, transportation, and transition-to-work benefits to increase household income and maintain medical coverage.
