BARBRA SCHLIFER COMMEMORATIVE CLINIC

Published purpose

The Self-Represented Survivors (SRS) of Gender-Based Violence project will help the Clinic to increase its capacity to support clients by offering practical and survivor-centered support in-house, through the Clinic’s central intake and wrap-around services model. The clinic will play a specialized intake role and offer direct support and informational resources to their clients and connect them with legal aid and trauma-informed lawyers. The project will also develop and deliver training for legal stakeholders on the unique needs of SRS clients. A self-directed online course will be made available to lawyers, family court support workers, and front-line service organizations to support survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.
