Social Work at Public Counsel

Public Counsel’s social workers offer holistic and collaborative social-emotional support to our clients in the Children’s Rights, Immigrants’ Rights, and Women & Girls’ Rights Projects. The support is grounded in trauma-informed, healing-centered, anti-racist methodology.

The social work team offers education to Public Counsel staff and volunteers on compassion fatigue, trauma-informed practice, client-centered ideology, boundary setting, and skills for working with clients in crisis. By partnering with clients and coworkers, our social workers strengthen the legal interventions we seek for our clients.
