I graduated in 1999, when it was still Mary Washington College and my second home was Chandler Hall. I have been working for the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice as a juvenile probation officer since 1999. My first ten years my work was exclusively working with juveniles on probation. That was in Stafford County. In 2009 I moved to the King George office and I now wear many hats. I provide civil intake to the public which includes filings for custody, visitation, paternity and child and/or spousal support. I also process petitions for domestic abuse protective orders. Law enforcement seeks my assistance in regard to filing criminal charges against juveniles. When those juveniles are adjudicated delinquent, I also supervise them on probation and in more serious offenses, I supervise juveniles in direct care (incarcerated at a juvenile correctional center) and then when those juveniles are released back into the community on parole. I am the chair of the Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) which is a multi-disciplinary team that hears requests for services. I love talking about my work. So count me in as a resource for psych majors. This e-mail is my personal e-mail, my work e-mail is Kathleen.long@djj.virginia.gov
