RE-IMAGINE JUSTICE: MASS INCARCERATION, REENTRY AND TRAUMA Intersections and Implications for Social Work Practice
December 6, 2016 @ 9:00 am - December 7, 2016 @ 4:00 pm
DECEMBER 6-7 (Two-Day Event) | 9:00am-4:00pm NYSED and ACE approved for 12 CE hours
Join us to gain a historical and contemporary understanding of mass incarceration in America, while providing tools to facilitate informed social work practice and advocacy with individuals, families, and communities impacted by this destructive phenomenon. It is our intent to stand with as allies, and when needed, lift the voices of the oppressed to demand that we Re-Imagine Justice in America for ALL.
This two-day conference will attract professionals who provide services to people whose lives are touched by the criminal justice system. Its overarching goal will be a holistic understanding of mass incarceration, reentry, and the interplay of trauma in these experiences. Special attention will be given to invisible populations, such as LGBTQ, immigrants and women of color.
