SUMMARY:Social Work Meetup: Talking about Deportations
DESCRIPTION:This meetup will focus on talking to our clients about the mass deportations as they risk impacting our clients and their families. We will also discuss and work to better understand the impact of these deportations on those affected. We want to be able to talk to our clients about these very real fears without being obstructive\, oppressive\, or causing additional emotional harm. We want to bring added awareness\, sensitivity\, and acknowledgment of our privileges to these (and every) conversation with our clients. Join this meetup to talk collectively about this challenging and frightening topic\, and how we can better support and be present for our impacted clients. Mitigation specialist and social worker\, Lindsey Sandoval\, will be our special guest. \nStephanne Cline Thornton is a West Virginia native who has worked in and around criminal defense and mitigation for more than 20 years in Georgia\, Colorado\, and West Virginia. She is currently the Clinical Director for the West Virginia Judicial and Lawyer Assistance Program\, and owner of Transform Legal\, a consultancy focused on mitigation\, training\, and sustainability. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Master Addiction Counselor\, Stephanne focuses on proper assessment for and access to trauma and substance use disorder treatment to ensure the health and well-being of affected individuals. Stephanne is on the Trauma-Informed Care Network Speakers Bureau and uses that platform to call attention to the intersection of secondary traumatic stress and legal practice. She approaches her work with clients\, lawyers\, social workers\, and mitigation specialists through a contextualized mitigation lens. \nLindsey Sandoval is a licensed clinical social worker and has been practicing social work for over sixteen years. She received her Bachelor of social work degree in 2006 and a Master of social work degree in 2014. Lindsey’s experience includes child welfare\, respondent parent advocacy\, guardian ad litem social work\, school social work\, and defense-based forensic social work. In August 2016 Lindsey was hired as the first Denver juvenile public defender social worker and helped to create the social work position at the Denver Trial Office. After leaving the Public Defender’s office in March 2019 Lindsey became a contract forensic social worker with Alternate Defense Counsel. Lindsey has worked on countless Direct Files\, homicides\, and detention cases and has facilitated several juvenile-focused pieces of training for Colorado Juvenile Defender Center and Alternate Defense Counsel. \n
