“Child Support When You’re Afraid of the Other Parent” The webinar will announce the release of and describe a new resource for survivors and advocates working with survivors – a palm card designed to help survivors assess risks associated with receiving child support and be equipped to navigate child support services more safely. The card provides an overview of safety options, guidance on steps for opting out of child support services, and examples of common child support processes that may elevate the risk for survivors. The palm card is intended to help survivors, and advocate working with survivors, make informed and empowered decisions about child support enforcement. This webinar will give examples of how local DV programs can work with local child support agencies to tailor the information on the card to local processes and resources and build a coordinated approach to enhancing survivor safety within the child support program. The primary audience for this webinar is domestic violence advocates working in local and state programs and child support professionals.
