The Intersection of Civil Legal Justice and the Wellbeing Blueprint Webinar Recording

While the civil legal system touches the lives of every person in the United States and cuts across multiple systems, it operates in its own siloed “cylinder of excellence.” This system also has an outsized impact on wellbeing as access to meaningful civil legal support helps people prevent eviction, fight job discrimination, secure custody of their children and get healthcare.

Sandra Ambrozy, Nonresident Fellow at the Urban Institute and Senior Fellow at the Full Frame Initiative, leads a discussion about how the Wellbeing Blueprint is providing a platform to transform and connect the civil legal system with other systems to advance a justice (vs. legal) system and accelerate wellbeing.
