Your Legal Rights—Protect Yourself and Your Clients

This workshop will focus on what providers should do when the police contact their client; whether it be on the street, in a vehicle, or at a residence, providing practical guidance to protect their rights and preserve their future. The first half will be about client rights and best practices. The second half will explore practical tools for applying those rights and best practices. There will be time for discussion and questions after both halves of the presentation.

Goals and takeaways include:

• Empowering providers with knowledge of their clients’ legal rights;
• tools they can use to protect clients and their families;
• best practices to follow during police encounters;
• how to discuss these practices with and educate different human services populations;
• how to remain empathetic through these tough conversations; and
• resources available to you and your clients.
