Victims with mental health issues can present unique challenges when prosecuting domestic violence or sexual assault cases. Please join Elinor Jordan, Senior Program Manager at the Survivior Law Clinic, as well as Erica Smith, PAAM's Violence Against Women Training Attorney as they talk about some basic information regarding mental health concerns and how it can impact your victim throughout the course of your case. They will give you some tips on how best to engage with these victims, as well as, some legal strategies regarding what may need to be disclosed and how to respond to defense challenges to your victim.
