The National Center for Victims of Crime, in conjunction with FACSA (Foundation to Abolish Child Sex Abuse), Justice 4 PA Kids, Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, will be offering a free training seminar for criminal justice practitioners, victim advocates, mental health therapists and other allied professionals. The seminar, Civil Justice for Victims of Crime in Pennsylvania, will be held on Wednesday, June 6th, at the Scranton Cultural Center, 420 North Washington Ave, Scranton, PA, 18503 from 9:00 am to 4:30 p.m.

The program will explore how victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, child sex abuse, drunk driving, homicide, workplace violence, terrorism, nursing home abuse, and financial and property crimes can use civil lawsuits to obtain justice, hold responsible parties accountable, prevent future crimes, and obtain the financial resources victims need to rebuild their lives. The program will cover resources and strategies for victims considering civil lawsuits, and will include a panel of attorneys to answer specific questions of Pennsylvania law.
