The Parenting Coordinator provides information\, effective tools and strategies for parents to improve their co-parent dynamic and communication to provide parents and children some respite from conflict. In some cases\, the role of the parenting coordinator is to disengage the parents completely. \nHilary Linton is a senior family lawyer\, mediator\, parenting coordinator and arbitrator. She founded Riverdale Mediation after litigating family and civil matters for 14 years including as a partner in a Toronto boutique law firm. Riverdale’s team of highly skilled family mediators\, parenting coordinators and arbitrators resolve high conflict and challenging disputes.

SUMMARY:Free Session - Trauma-informed Lawyering by the Journey Project
DESCRIPTION:Free ‘Trauma-Informed Lawyering’ *CLE Opportunity \nThe Journey Project Legal Support Service (JPLSS) is a collaboration between the Journey Project team and trained lawyers who are interested in supporting survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence in Newfoundland and Labrador.  The Journey Project is actively seeking lawyers to join our Legal Support Service lawyer roster.

Recently\, we’ve had an influx of survivors wishing to consult with lawyers on our roster and we are acutely aware of the need to increase our capacity to provide this vitally important service. \nLawyers who wish to participate in this program must participate in a free half-day training session on trauma-informed lawyering. This training is being offered at the Law Society of NL on Friday\, June 14 from 9:30am – 1:00pm and 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. \nTraining will cover: \n\nidentifying and understanding trauma and its impacts\nthe neurobiology of trauma\nrationale and principles of trauma-informed lawyering\ntrauma-informed responses to disclosures\nburnout\, empathic strain\, and vicarious trauma\n\nThis seminar is free and\, *subject to the provisions of the Law Society’s Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Requirements\, may constitute 3.5 hours of eligible CLE activities. \nTo register for this training visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JourneyTIL \nIf you are interested in learning more about this training or becoming a part of this paid and rewarding program please reach out to Janet Lee\, Coordinator at janet@journeyprojectnl.com  or 709-986-2801
