De-Escalation and Safety in Legal Aid
Join us as we welcome guest speaker Fawn Pettet, Client Support Services Manager at Land of Lincoln Legal Aid, who will delve into the important topic of de-scalation and safety within our work. Legal aid staff increasingly navigate emotionally charged situations in offices, court buildings, outreach settings, home visits, and phone calls. This session will examine practical de-escalation techniques, organizational policies, and safety structures that help staff respond effectively when a client interaction escalates.
After registration, please check your confirmation email for instructions on how to join the meeting.
What are NLADA Drop-In Discussions?
NLADA Drop-In Discussions are virtual spaces for NLADA communities – Civil Legal Aid, Client, and Public Defender – to share experiences, questions, strategies and ideas with each other. NLADA staff will attend to learn from members about the issues most important to them, and to provide information when helpful to the group. These convenings are intended for advocates in the field and participation will be limited to people in such roles. NLADA membership is encouraged but not required.
