About The Webinar Series:
Are you wondering how to get started in your area with a VOD restorative justice program? Or are you curious about how it works, or has worked, for established programs in the US? Or you might be looking to strengthen connections and support while receiving some insights and skills tips from a seasoned Facilitator, Kris Miner Schweigert. This online series aims to provide a wide array of professionals, advocates, and people working in their localities information and guidance on VOD, how to start, and how to strengthen existing structures that involve cross-professional and system "gatekeepers", such as Wardens, DAs, VAs, and more.
Please Note: This Webinar Series IS NOT a Facilitator Training but is an overview of essential elements a Facilitator or Facilitator-In-Training will need to know, as well as a way to discover how working programs moved forward with community and DOC partnerships to establish professional trust and collaboration with Victims Advocates, DA's, Department of Corrections Officials, and more. Kris Miner-Schweigert and host Molly Rowan Leach will share information about programs that offer trainings, are in-motion and having success in growing their work, and more.
