Join us for a series of free webinars hosted by our Civil, Client, and Defender communities! The Annual Encore Webinar Series brings you exclusive supplemental content from last fall’s Annual Conference. Featuring a mix of popular topics and emerging themes, these webinars also provide a platform for presenters who couldn’t attend in person to share their insights with the NLADA community in a virtual setting.
Panelists:
- Chaz Kohlrieser, Director of Social Work, Rising for Justice
- Michanda Myles, Network Project Manager, DC Bar Foundation
- Rebecca Gallahue, Director of Legal Support, Legal Aid DC
- Laurence Boylan, Supervising Attorney, Maryland Legal Aid
The rise in mental health disorders and housing insecurity has heightened stress and health disparities, particularly among low-income communities of color. How can attorneys, social workers, and social service providers work together to create lasting change?
This panel will explore innovative collaborative models—like Rising for Justice’s integrated social work-legal services approach—designed to provide holistic support to clients navigating the legal system. Learn how interdisciplinary partnerships can strengthen service coordination, drive equity, and promote sustainable success for impacted communities.
