    Navigating the justice process is a complex and confusing process, and victims and survivors often have limited system support when the person who caused them harm is placed onto community supervision.  Multnomah County Department of Community Justice has a dedicated team to support victims/survivors as they navigate this phase of the justice process.  Join us to learn about how this special unit was created, the services we provide, and the impact having victim-centered support can have on our most overlooked clients – victims and survivors.
