Description:
Survivors often face insurmountable barriers to receive the very services they need to keep themselves and their families safe. Negotiating multiple locations/appointment times, transportation issues, communication channels, conflicting information, etc., can prove impossible. This workshop presents a unique integrative service model: The Source Program. This clinic partners law students, medical students, social workers, and outreach counselors practicing their respective skills to aid survivors.
