GAL Peer to Peer Forum

  • This event has passed.
Description

BWJP, in partnership with NCJFCJ, has created an online peer to peer forum for Guardians at Litem. Do you serve as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL)? Are you an attorney or advocate who works with GALs? Guardians ad litem serve the best interests of the children in family court proceedings, as well as civil protection order cases. Their reports and recommendations to the court carry a lot of weight – but what happens when the recommendations don’t serve the best interests of the children and victim-parent? In this peer to peer forum, instructors will facilitate a discussion around GAL emerging issues, best practices, and steps to improve outcomes for children and victim-parents when working with appointed GALs. There will be live Zoom calls, discussion boards, and shared resources.
