Provided funding to send 2 representatives from our Santa Cruz Public Defender Office site to a training hosted by the North Carolina IDS on how to develop and launch holistic defense services in public defense communities that previously operated traditional or assigned counsel delivery models. This allowed us to share the expertise and experience of our Santa Cruz project work with another state. The training, Using Social Workers as Part of a Holistic Defense Practice, was held April 25 and 26, in Chapel Hill, NC. 36 people attended the program, representing 21 of North Carolina’s 27 public defender offices. There was great interest in the topic and we received outstanding feedback on the important role the Santa Cruz representatives played in being able to provide real world feedback on the successes and challenges to implementing holistic defense in a community.
