'Collaborative, Holistic Services' focus of NAPD webinar

The National Association for Public Defense (NAPD) will present the webinar “Collaborative, Holistic Services: Where to Begin?” on Thursday, November 30, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

The proliferation of collaborative, holistic styled defense is revolutionizing public defenders across the country. Yet, challenges remain in knowing how to identify resources, embed practices and develop strategies for effective implementation of these expanded services.

The webinar speakers will share their approach from inception to implementing collaborative services in diverse offices, utilizing existing and cultivated resources to bring clients greater services.

Speaking at the webinar will be Vichal Kumar, director of Capacity-Building at Partners for Justice, and Annie Legomsky, the Holistic Defense Services leader at Missouri State Public Defender.
