This is the first training in a three-part series designed to provide legal and elder rights practitioners with the basic tools and civil legal strategies needed to help older adults who have experienced abuse.
Â
The series will also provide tips for providing person-centered and trauma-informed representation.
Â
This webinar will focus on case and client management. Attendees will learn how to screen a new intake, prepare for the initial client meeting, maintain client access and communication throughout the case, and how goal-setting and collaboration with social workers can help guide representation.
Â
This webinar will cover:
Â
- Screening intakes and preparing for initial client meetings;
- Managing client communication and expectations; and
- Collaborating with social workers and other professionals as part of legal representation.
The information in this training will primarily be applicable to attorneys representing older adults in elder abuse cases. However, other service providers and members of multidisciplinary teams may also find it helpful in their work and to better understand the range of services that legal aid can provide.
