Oil and Water: How the Criminal Justice System, the Child Welfare System and the Community Advocacy World can Work Together to Benefit Survivors and their Children.

Survivors are better served when all three entities work collaboratively, respecting and recognizing the unique roll each plays, in cases of domestic violence and sexual assault. The presenters will highlight several real-life success stories of collaboration, and offer lessons learned as well as tools and resources to bring back to your community.
