Remote work has become increasingly common in the last few years. How can your organization rely on remote services for purposes of capacity building and promoting access to legal services?

Is your organization’s applications for recognition and/or accreditation “application ready”? Are you feeling overwhelmed about how to answer a question on the application or what attachments should be included? Join CLINIC’s DOJ R & A experts as we share best practices and answer application specific questions. This workshop is best suited to those applying for initial recognition and/or accreditation but could also benefit long-term practitioners who may be applying for renewal for the first time using the new forms and instructions.

Cultivating wellness in an organization is not an option but a necessity. Wellness creates a better working environment that respects the dignity of both staff and clients and in turn increases efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness. To develop an organizational culture of wellness, a collective rather than individual effort is needed, and managers play a vital role in building that foundation. This session will focus on the importance of centering wellness in our work through guiding managers in identifying burnout, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue.

Back by popular demand! This interactive wellness session dives into recognizing and managing vicarious trauma while preventing burnout. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect through journaling and story sharing, and they will go home with practical tools and personalized strategies to recharge and be the best immigration advocates for themselves, their colleagues, and their clients.
