S4 E27: Keira’s Law, Reunification Therapy, and Why the Systems Meant to Protect Children Keep Failing Them — Part 2 with Philip Viater

Send us Fan MailIn part two of this conversation, Philip breaks down the legislation that came out of that loss — Keira’s Law Law, passed unanimously across all party lines — and what it actually does to change how judges are trained on domestic violence and coercive control. He also gets into why reunification therapy has no standardized training, no governing body, and no consistent methodology, why the Department of Justice's own HELP Toolkit confirms abuse is relevant to parenting but that knowledge still hasn't trickled down to the front lines, and what he would say to a victim who is afraid to come forward because they've already seen the system fail.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by our podcast guest are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the hosts or the podcast.
