SUMMARY:Webinar: BC Legal Aid
DESCRIPTION:Settlement service providers are often the first and main source that newcomers go to for support\, providing effective\, culturally sensitive and appropriate services and creating service linkages within their large networks to support newcomers in their myriad needs.  However\, newcomers may face challenges that require legal advice beyond the scope and ability of service providers such as child protection matters\, serious family problems and immigration and refugee issues.  As service providers meet clients with increasing complex situations\, it is important that they understand how legal aid in BC works\, when their clients need legal aid and how they can support client access to legal services.    \nThis webinar will provide service providers in all regions of the province with an understanding of the most common challenges newcomers face that may require legal aid and how service providers can support newcomers with these challenges in conjunction with the legal aid process. This session will also cover the types of legal aid offered through Legal Aid BC and the process of linking clients with Legal Aid BC.  \nEVENT DETAILS AND REGISTRATION \nDate: Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025    \nTime: 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. PST   \nLocation: Zoom Webinar - Event details will be emailed immediately after registration    \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nPRESENTERS \nEduardo Aragón\nSupervisor\, Legal Aid Navigators\nPublic Legal Education and Information\nLegal Aid BC \nOriginally from El Salvador\, Eduardo came to Canada as a refugee with his family.
