Training Overview
For many families that experience child abuse, pursuing legal action through the court system can be a step in their healing process. As community-based advocates, ongoing advocacy may include guiding a family through the court system, whether that involves criminal or civil court proceedings. This training helps participants gain skills and practical tools in how they can support families in the court process. We will also build knowledge on how the court system works and defines court terms that most laypersons may not understand without legal training.
