From Crisis to Courage: How Tri-County FJC Guides Survivors Through the Legal System

Purpose: Demystify the legal process for survivors and highlight your restraining order assistance and court support.
Structure:

1. Introduction
   • The overwhelming fear of navigating the legal system alone.
2. Step-by-Step Support
   • Filing Restraining Orders:
     • How your team helps survivors complete paperwork, gather evidence (e.g., photos, texts), and prepare testimony.
   • Court Advocacy:
     • Staff accompany survivors to hearings and explain courtroom procedures.
   • Judicial Collaboration:
     • Partnerships with local judges to prioritize safety (e.g., expedited orders).
3. Real-Life Impact
   • Case Study: A Guadalupe County mother who secured a restraining order and custody of her children with Tri-County’s help.
4. Myth-Busting
   • “You need money for a lawyer.” → Tri-County’s free legal consultations.
   • “Restraining orders don’t work.” → Data on reduced violence recurrence.
5. How to Help
   • Sponsor printing costs for legal documents.
