What if we are responsible for more than preventing harm? What if we're actually responsible for healing, too? What if justice and healing are in fact the very same thing? In this workshop, we will explore approaches for engaging with victims of crime that are rooted in the understanding that our system is far from perfect. We'll learn how to guide survivors in defining healing and justice on their own terms, separate from courtroom outcomes, and centering that definition in every engagement.

Join us to learn more about VEPT and what you can do as part of a local team to address elder abuse.

Join us for the next session of Intro to Worldbuilding, an interactive gathering where we'll reimagine the world through connection, creativity, and collective action. Together, we'll explore how to align our daily work with a vision rooted in mutual care and dignity, and practice the transformation we seek in the world.

For better or worse, media coverage of crime is here to stay. Crime survivors and victim advocates know the media glare can be unwelcome and intrusive. There are also times it can be useful, such as renewing investigators’ attention on unsolved crimes or raising awareness of victims’ issues and resources for survivors. The National Center for Victims of Crime has published a guide to help victims and advocates navigate media coverage.

This series is designed for advocates, program leaders, and outreach staff working to strengthen their organization’s economic advocacy capacity. Consider your role and availability before registering:
