Breaking Down the Barriers – Forensics Peer Support

This course will run on September 15 from 9a-5p

People who have experienced justice involvement and incarceration face unique hardships and challenges in society. Research shows that the level of support an individual receives directly influences how a person navigates their path to community integration. In this immersive course, family support professionals will gain invaluable knowledge and develop critical intervention skills to support individuals re-entering the community after incarceration.

AT THE END OF THIS 8-HOUR COURSE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

  • Reduce recidivism by facilitating successful reentry of the individuals served

  • Outline the inner workings of the criminal justice system

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions at various points of contact

  • Analyze the unique challenges and opportunities of reentry

  • Explain the relationship between trauma-informed care and justice involvement

  • Formulate how to support individuals as they navigate reentry
