Criminalization & Survivorship Project

Part-time position - Toronto

Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic offers trauma-informed legal services and representation, counselling, and multilingual interpretation, and drives system transformation to support women and gender diverse people who have experienced violence.

Criminalization & Survivorship is a 30-month National project our clinic is leading.

We will have Student Court Support Workers provide direct support and informational resources to criminalized survivors navigating the criminal justice system.

At the end of the project, we will produce an evaluation report highlighting key findings and lessons learned. This will allow us to share information and provide training, support and implementation strategies to replicate and expand the promising practices.
