The HJWT Model
|
|
|
 Wynona I. Ward, Esq., Attorney and Founder of HJWT, has created an innovative, mobile, multi-service program that assists
victims of domestic abuse through the legal process, from the initial interview and relief from abuse order through
self-sufficiency and independence. This holistic multi-service approach to assisting rural victims often is the key to
women first escaping the abuse and then moving forward to improving the quality of their lives and their children's
lives. HJWT, which began out of Wynona's kitchen, now has four offices and is serving 11 of Vermont's 14 counties. In
addition to Wynona, HJWT now has 4 full time attorneys, 2 legal interns, 3 paralegal/client service coordinators, and an
administrative assistant. Since 1998, HJWT has provided services for almost 10,000 women and children.
