Consulting for
Businesses and Organizations
JoDee wants to help adults do better by showing them the way. Businesses and organizations—hotels, restaurants, activity centers, camps, churches, and others—face real risks when it comes to child safety. Unfortunately, many lack the specialized insight to recognize where systems fail children and families. Very few consultants offer JoDee Neil’s unique expertise in this space. With years of experience in child advocacy and litigation, JoDee provides customized consulting packages to help businesses:
- Identify and address existing vulnerabilities
- You've received a grand jury notice involving a child's statement.
- You’re navigating an emotionally charged custody, abuse, or trauma case.
- Your client, as a lawyer, requires assistance in preparing a child witness for testimony.
JoDee equips organizations with the tools they need to protect children and do better—because doing the bare minimum is no longer enough. JoDee can do trainings from “lunch and learn” to full-day trainings for businesses.
Consulting
for Survivors
Let’s face it: the system doesn’t do enough. While the State of Texas does what it can, it simply lacks the resources to fully support every survivor of child abuse or neglect. JoDee Neil offers fee-based consulting services that align with state efforts to bridge this gap. She works within the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) framework to support survivors and families from the earliest stages of investigation, including:
- Guiding families through the pre-indictment phase
- Preparing survivors and families for the Grand Jury process
- Coordinating communication with law enforcement
- Explaining complex legal steps with clarity and compassion
- • Drafting case-support materials for Grand Jury presentation
Whether a case is true-billed or no-billed, JoDee ensures survivors and their families are not left in the dark.
Consulting for
Mandatory Reporters
In Texas, everyone is legally required to report suspected child abuse—but educators, staff, and leaders in both public and private schools are held to even higher standards as Mandatory Reporters. JoDee Neil provides expert organizational consulting to help these institutions:
- Understand their legal obligations
- Establish clear internal reporting protocols
- Train staff on how to recognize and respond to signs of abuse
- Foster a culture of accountability and child-centered care
With JoDee’s guidance, institutions can move beyond compliance and toward meaningful protection.
