About Ms. Dubois

Ms. Dubois is a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Ontario Association of Social Workers. She is also a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts.

Section 30 Assessments

I will provide you a service that is objective and exemplary based in evidence and best practice.

My expertise, dedication, and ability to communicate effectively make me an optimal professional for providing Section 30 assessments in family courts, ultimately supporting the best interest of the child.  

In order to deliver high-quality assessments the process could include the following:

1. Gathering relevant information through interviews, observations, and documentation from all parties involved, such as parents, children, social workers, and other professionals.

2. Assessing the child's needs with a focus on best interest for the child’s safety, their emotional, physical, and developmental needs as well as considering their views and experiences.

3. Evaluating parental capacity to meet the child’s needs and the parental ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment.

4. And finally, providing well-reasoned recommendations that prioritize the child's best interests, supporting legal decisions regarding custody, contact arrangements, or protection.

Intimate Partner and Coercive Control assessments and Report

This service aims to assist the court in understanding the complexities and impact of intimate partner violence and coercive control, ultimately helping to ensure the safety and well-being of affected individuals. 

I understand that living with this experience is extremely difficult.  Even more so when trying to navigate systems  and provide clarity to others about what you have suffered through.  

The compassionate and thorough approach I take with interviews and assessments can help support and advocate for you in the court system.  Assessments and following reports can provide insight  and validation in addition to utilizing relevant research and literature to support and advocate for victims.

Providing expert witness reports to courts

This involves delivering specialized knowledge and insights on complex issues relevant to a case.

As an expert witness, I possess specialized knowledge in areas such as psychology, social work, or domestic violence, which allows me to analyze cases effectively and provide credible insights.

I conduct thorough evaluations that may involve assessments of individuals, family dynamics, and contextual factors affecting the case. This process includes interviews, observations, and data collection from various sources.

I prepare detailed and clear reports that summarize findings, provide interpretations, and offer professional opinions based on the evidence gathered. Additionally, I stay updated on the latest research and developments in my field, allowing me to provide informed and relevant testimony.

My approach is neutral and objective, ensuring that my findings are based solely on evidence and best practices, rather than personal biases or opinions.

Endorsements from Clients

Family Court Lawyer

  "Elizabeth is able to identify the subtleties of IPV and coercive control and appreciates the broader challenges and context. Her empathy and insights are invaluable intellectually, emotionally, and practically!" 

Intimate Partner Survivor

"For far too many years, the weight of shame and guilt, from choices I had made, things that I had done, was emotionally crippling, numbing. Through Elizabeth's guidance, insight and empathy, I have realized that, "choice", was not something I ever had. And that, that shame and quilt, was never mine to bear. Thank you Elizabeth." 

Coercive Control Survivor and Family

"It has been life changing having Ms. Dubois as a resource for myself and family having recently left a coercive controlling marriage and am navigating the system after separation. Her knowledge and understanding of this form of abuse has been invaluable."
