SUMMARY:Social Worker Meetup: Caseloads and Structure of Mitigation Workers in PD Offices
DESCRIPTION:On a Monday – Special Monday-Meetup! We know that every jurisdiction is different\, but we are also aware there is not uniformity in how mitigation work gets done in defense based offices. This discussion will focus on who is doing the mitigation work (social workers\, mitigation specialists\, behavioral health workers\, paralegals\, etc.)\, where (in-office or contracted)\, and what the referral process and caseloads look like. We will explore and discuss different ethical models that parallel in-office versus contracted work. Join us on a special Monday edition of our meetup! \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. \n
