About the Lunch & Learn
The Hon. Christine Perra Rapillo and Attorney Rachael Levine will offer practical guidance drawn from years of experience in juvenile matters, child protection, and family practice. This session will help mediators and collaborative professionals better understand how DCF involvement and juvenile court proceedings impact the families involved and potentially, the work of collaborative divorce and co-parenting resolution.
