Don't miss this opportunity to join your colleagues for this very special FREE AFN Webinar with Shaunestte N. Terrell, JD! Be sure to share this event invitation with your interprofessional team members!
Join your AFN and interprofessional colleagues as special guest Shaunestte Terrell addresses how civil sexual abuse litigation has evolved over the past few decades. Shaunestte will discuss institutional cases including churches, organizations, and schools as well as how individual cases have evolved. Attendees will learn how civil cases differ from criminal cases and how civil litigation can lead to compensation for survivors of sexual abuse.
Nationally, we are witnessing an awakening to the wrongs done to survivors of sexual abuse and how these civil cases can help them, as seen in high-profile cases against USA Gymnastics, Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein, and many others. Participants will be given practical tips on how to help clients get justice through the civil litigation process. Attendees will learn a whole new way to help survivors on their path to healing.
We look forward to seeing you there!
