A mock courtroom in Van Nuys helps victims of abuse understand the court process and prepare for their emotional testimony.
Preparing for the courtroom experience isn't easy, especially for victims of abuse.
The Center for Assault Treatment Services is helping victims through the process by recently opening a mock courtroom for victims at the Family Justice Center in Van Nuys. Open for only six months, the mock courtroom provides children and adult victims the opportunity to prepare for the courtroom environment.
The service is free to victims and is one of many offered through CATS. It gives victims an early chance to experience what stepping into the courtroom and testifying will be like.
