Family Law and Family Violence - Basics

CLCs are familiar with family law and family violence issues, with heaps of empathy and motivation to help. In times of increasing stringency around how to deal with domestic, family and sexual violence, as well as specific funding opportunities for these services, we all need to become more EXPERT!
