&Rise is proud to bring you this complimentary educational event: Navigating Orders of Protection, followed up with a Q&A session with a legal advocate in the field.

We will cover what is an Order of Protection, and what is it not? What are the differences between an OP and other forms of protection? Who needs one, and what constitutes abuse?

Join us for an open discussion of what legal means may be available, hosted in a safe space with a focus on empowering women and victims of domestic abuse.
