The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) recently organized a family forum at the Juvenile Care Centre in Al Mafraq. This event, held in conjunction with Zayed Humanitarian Day, aimed to bridge the gap between families and young people in the care center. The initiative reflects the UAE’s commitment to rehabilitation and reintegration, emphasizing the importance of family support in this process.
The forum offered a platform for families of minors placed in the care center to come together and discuss common challenges. It also provided an opportunity to learn more about the programs and resources available to support their children’s rehabilitation journey.
The event featured a presentation on the significance of humanitarian work and the values instilled by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE’s founding father. The presentation highlighted Sheikh Zayed’s dedication to helping those in need and promoting tolerance and coexistence within society. Organizers hope that these values will resonate with the young people in the care center, encouraging them to make positive choices upon their return to their communities.
The forum served as a valuable space for open communication and dialogue between families and the Juvenile Care Centre staff. This exchange of information is crucial for ensuring a collaborative approach to rehabilitation. Families gained a better understanding of the care and support their children receive at the center, while staff members were able to address any questions or concerns the families might have.
This initiative by the ADJD underscores the UAE’s unwavering commitment to restorative justice. By fostering strong family connections and emphasizing humanitarian values, the program creates a supportive environment that can contribute to a successful rehabilitation process for young people in the care center. The ADJD’s efforts go beyond simply providing secure housing; they actively seek to equip these young individuals with the tools and support they need to become productive members of society.
