Heart Work Series: Am I Just Another Number? Healing-centered Re-unification for Young People who are Justice-impacted | MONDAYS IN AUGUST
August 5 @ 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm CDT
National Training & TA Center
The Heart Work Series will meet every Monday in August. In each session, you’ll hear from national and international leaders working on the frontlines of youth justice, championing healing-centered approaches. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about new paradigms for youth justice!
This session delves into the power of healing-centered education as a vital tool for reunification and reintegration. We know that reentry programs often fall short, leaving young people feeling like just another number. However, research from Youth.Gov reveals that connecting youth with dedicated case managers, mentors, and educational and employment opportunities can significantly reduce recidivism rates.
During this impactful session, you’ll hear from Karen Jeet Dhaliwal and Lane Krumpos, two national leaders in youth justice and re-entry, as they discuss the transformative power of education in the reunification process.
