   Kurt Hoffmann – Inside the Wasatch County Children’s Justice Center

   What happens when a child needs help after experiencing abuse or trauma? In this episode, Rachel Kahler sits down with Wasatch County Children’s Justice Center Director Kurt Hoffmann to explain how the CJC supports children and families, how professionals work together during investigations, and why community support matters. Kurt also shares the story behind the center, the people and partnerships that make its work possible, and the local traditions—from Cottages for the Children to the Nutcracker Tea Party—that help raise funds for kids in need. It’s a difficult subject, but also a powerful story about compassion, healing, and a community coming together for its children. ------------- Intellectual Property & Use Disclaimer All content published in and through this podcast, including but not limited to audio recordings, video content, transcripts, graphics, and branding, is the property of Ignition Graphix, LLC and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
