The Journey Project Legal Support Service (JPLSS) is a collaboration between the Journey Project team and private practice lawyers who are interested in providing trauma-informed legal support to survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Journey Project is actively seeking lawyers to join their Legal Support Service lawyer roster.

This session offers a unique opportunity to build the skills and knowledge of legal professionals and make practicing lawyers eligible to join the Journey Project Legal Support Service.
