(June 8, 2024) The Safe and Stable Families team at the ATL Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (AVLF) had the privilege of partnering with Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP to conduct a comprehensive Intimate Partner Abuse training. This session was an important step in our ongoing efforts to equip legal professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to support survivors and advocate for safer communities.

The training provided participants with valuable insights and resources, empowering them to better address the complex issues surrounding intimate partner abuse. By enhancing their understanding and skills, we aim to improve the quality of support available to survivors and strengthen the legal resources accessible to those in need.

Partnerships with local firms and legal professionals, such as the one we have with Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, are crucial to expanding our reach and enhancing our services. These collaborations help ensure that every individual can access the legal support necessary to navigate challenging circumstances and work towards safer, more stable environments.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP team, especially Elisa Kodish, pro bono partner, for hosting and participating in this important training. Together, we are making strides towards creating a more informed and supportive network for survivors of intimate partner abuse.
