Everyone who ever worked with John Chapman in the Court Support Services Division of the Judicial Branch is mourning his loss. As the former chief administrative judge for Juvenile, I worked with John for many years while he directed significant improvements and innovative approaches to improving programs delivering mental health services to delinquents and their families. He oversaw the implementation of clinical coordinators in all of our courts who would immediately assess the psychological needs of children entering the juvenile justice system. He collaborated with UConn to improve our programming to take past trauma and gender differences into account. He implemented reviews of our programming to make sure we were getting results. Our court-ordered evaluators were better trained and qualified under his leadership. The mental health needs of children in and out of detention were better addressed with the introduction of better risk assessments, systemic therapies for families and coordination with outside providers. He helped develop a program to better educate school officials on responding more appropriately to children acting due to mental health issues and discouraged school arrests. During his tenure, the number of children entering detention, and the time those who were admitted spent in detention, were decreased becuase the courts were able to find suitable programming more quickly. He vastly improved our collaborations with other state agencies, including DMHAS and DCF. He will be greatly missed as a colleague. John was a kind, gentle man with a passion for improving the delivery of mental health services to children. My condolences to his family. Judge Christine Keller
