London Family Court Clinic

We are grateful to Westminster College Foundation for supporting LFCC’s Rise and Thrive program, and for helping youth build resilience, safety, and healthy relationship skills.

Thank you for your support! 💙

On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we recognize that access is not optional - it’s essential.
 
When barriers are removed, opportunities open: to participate fully, engage meaningfully, and move forward with care and support.
 
At LFCC, we believe that every young person deserves services that are accessible, inclusive, and responsive to their needs.
 

Our office will be closed on Monday, May 18th and we will reopen Tuesday, May 19th during regular business hours.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy long weekend. 🌻

Today we recognize the important role families play in the well-being of children and youth in the justice system. We acknowledge how social inequalities can shape access to stability, resources, and support.
 
At LFCC, we work with families and see how trauma-informed, safe spaces can create meaningful change for families facing complex challenges. We remain committed to client-centred approaches that strengthen support systems and access to care.
 

This week, London Family Court Clinic brought together ADR-Link Practitioners to connect and have meaningful conversations about practice and shared experiences.
 
We’re so grateful to everyone who attended and contributed their insights, perspectives, and dedication.
 
We look forward to collaborating and continuing these important conversations around better supporting children, youth, and families throughout the mediation process.  
 

This week is Victims and Survivors of Crime Week - a time to recognize the lasting impacts of crime and recognize the importance of accessible, trauma-informed support services.
 
At the London Family Court Clinic, we support children and families through experiences of violence and victimization. Our work focuses on helping individuals feel supported in finding the help they need.
 
This year’s theme is “The Power of Collaboration” highlighting the importance of working together to build a safer and more supportive community for all.
 

On National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people, we pause to honour those who are missing and those who were taken too soon. We stand in solidarity with families and communities advocating for justice and systemic change.
 

Please join us in welcoming our newest volunteer, Maysoon! ✨

We’re excited to have her supporting our team around the office, and we’re looking forward to the valuable contributions she’ll bring to our work. We’re grateful to have her with us!
 

On April 21st, London Family Court Clinic had the opportunity to host an insightful training with the Canadian Child Interviewing Research Team.

Together with our community partners, Ontario Provincial Police, London Police Service - Canada, Stratford Police, Crown attorneys, and CAS London we explored how child development shapes memory—and why this matters in forensic interviewing. Understanding how children process, store, and recall information is critical to ensuring interviews are accurate, ethical, and trauma-informed.

The session also highlighted the 10-step interviewing approach, reinforcing best practices that help reduce suggestibility, support reliable disclosures, and ultimately strengthen outcomes within the justice system.

A special thank you to Dr. Angela Evans and Dr. Kaila Bruer for sharing their expertise and leading such an impactful session.

This work is essential to improving how we listen to and support children and youth.
