"The Power of Collaboration:

How Community-Based, Trauma-Informed Partnerships Transform the Justice Experience for Victims and Families"

Monday, May 11, 2026

10:00 am - 12:30 pm CDT (virtual)

This workshop introduces a practice-based, community-centered model specifically designed to support families impacted by homicide and criminal fatalities - illustrating how collaboration reduces re-traumatization, supports families’ capacity to engage in the justice process, and addresses gaps that formal systems alone cannot meet. We will also explore challenges and offer practical strategies for navigating them ethically and effectively.

Please join us online on Monday, May 11 at 10:00 am!
