About the Criminalize Survivors Program: For over 30 years, the STEPS Criminalize Survivors Program has offered comprehensive clinical and legal support services to survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) or other forms of gender-based violence (GBV) who have been criminalized for their efforts to survive or resist abusive partner behavior. We support survivors facing felony and/or misdemeanor charges in any borough. In addition, STEPS CSP has a designated advocate/counselor serving criminalized survivors on site at the Manhattan and Brooklyn Family Justice Centers, and a Training Team that helps lead the City's whole response to criminalized survivors.

The CSP Supervisor will provide consistent, reliable, and relationally grounded supervision to at least half of the direct service ATI staff. The Supervisor will have an advanced clinical degree, ample direct practice and supervisory experience, and the ability to supervise graduate students. Additionally, the Supervisor will work collaboratively to meet the administrative and reporting needs of the ATI contract.
