This program aims to reflect the importance of accessible legal support during challenging times.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve experienced sexual violence in New Brunswick, you may be eligible to receive up to four hours of free legal advice through this program. SVNB\u2019s dedicated team of Legal Support Advocates and lawyers can assist with an initial consultation, carefully reviewing your situation, discussing available options, and providing information about potential outcomes.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to legal guidance, survivors enrolled in the program will have the invaluable support of a Legal Support Advocate. This advocate is equipped to help navigate the legal system, offering guidance and support throughout the entire process.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t have to face this journey alone. Sexual Violence New Brunswick provides empowerment through information and support. You can self-refer to the Independent Legal Advice program and take the first step towards empowerment and justice.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self refer by:<\/p><ul><li>phone: 506 454 0460, or<\/li><li>email: <a href=\"mailto:ILA@SVNB.ca\">ILA@SVNB.ca<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2acdab elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a2acdab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/saferplacesnb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sexualviolenceNBlogo-1024x257.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18739\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saferplacesnb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sexualviolenceNBlogo-1024x257.png 1024w, https:\/\/saferplacesnb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sexualviolenceNBlogo-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/saferplacesnb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sexualviolenceNBlogo-768x193.png 768w, https:\/\/saferplacesnb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sexualviolenceNBlogo.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62be712 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"62be712\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-671c4e7f animated-fast elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"671c4e7f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:&quot;600&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3620441 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3620441\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Public Legal Education and Information Service of New Brunswick (PLEIS-NB) Legal Information Line<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6812c4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6812c4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can contact PLEIS-NB for information from our staff about the Safer Places Project, and about the law regarding sexual harassment generally.
