SELF-ADVOCACY
SKILLS PROGRAM
Are
your low income clients facing serious legal problems such as evictions, utility
shut offs, bankruptcy, or child custody issues?
Statewide Legal Services can help your clients learn to protect
themselves against these problems and the many other problems facing low income
people.
Statewide Legal Services’ Self-Advocacy Skills Program is designed to
empower people to make their own choices and take control of their legal
problems before they become too serious.
The program will focus on:
·
how to keep important
papers and records organized
·
what papers and records
should be kept in case a problem arises in the future
·
how to prepare both factually and
emotionally when the client is trying to
resolve the legal problem on their own.
·
when a problem just cannot
wait
· where a client can turn to when the problem is too complicated for them to handle on their own.
