Advocating for Human Trafficking Survivors in Maryland: Understanding the Legal Framework, Civil Legal Needs, and Trauma Informed Lawyering Principles

Join Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS) and the Human Trafficking Prevention Project (HTPP) to learn how you can best support human trafficking survivors (and others placed at increased risk of exploitation) with legal challenges including criminal record relief, debt/credit repair, and family law matters, among others. This presentation will include an overview of trafficking (legal definitions, risk factors, and dynamics), a discussion of legal issues commonly impacting survivors, and tips for trauma-informed lawyering techniques that will strengthen collaboration with clients.

This presentation is brought to you by the MVLS and HTPP partnership (www.htprevention.org). For further information or questions regarding the webinar, please contact MVLS HTPP Partnership Manager, Heather Heiman at hheiman@mvlslaw.org.
