Trauma Informed Legal Services

June 25, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Presenter Suzanne Estrella, PCAR

This presentation will cover the guiding principles of a trauma informed approach to advocacy. Taking into account the impact of trauma on survivors, participants will learn to adapt their practice by creating trauma-informed spaces for client meetings and identify new ways to question survivors about their experiences.

Participants will also examine the value of expert witness testimony offered to educate juries and the courts about trauma and its impact on survivors.
