SUMMARY:9th National Conference on Community and Restorative Justice with Local Presenters Alyssa Brennan and Sarah McDonald Moores
DESCRIPTION:Conference Details:\nRe-Envisioning Our Legacies: A Defining Moment\nWashington\, D.C. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 9th National Conference takes us to the nation’s capital\, a city that wields considerable influence on national and international affairs\, and a place with deeply rooted community activism and movement making. More broadly\, the entire DMV region (Washington\, D.C.\, Maryland\, and Virginia) serves as an example of the transformative power of deliberate\, local initiatives. This tapestry of history\, cultural diversity\, and innovation makes the DMV an ideal place to explore the past\, present\, and future of community and restorative justice. \nIn 2024\, we stand at a critical juncture facing pivotal decisions on a national scale. These decisions encompass defining the values our country wishes to champion during a federal election year\, clarifying our individual and collective roles in addressing global issues like oppression\, conflict\, and war\, and determining how we want community and restorative justice to show up in our own communities. \nOur conference theme\, “Re-Envisioning Our Legacies: A Defining Moment\,” draws inspiration from the global Indigenous wisdom of “Seven Generations.” This principle urges us to consider the far-reaching impact of our actions seven generations into the future while honoring the efforts of ancestors seven generations before us. The theme invites each of us to reflect on our personal and collective legacies: which legacies from our ancestors influence our work\, which harmful legacies are we dedicated to overturning\, and which legacies do we aspire to pass on to the next seven generations? This exploration teaches us valuable lessons\, fosters connections between past and future\, and empowers us to share the legacies that will be carried forward by future generations. \nJoin us in this defining moment as we envision\, explore\, and take action to ensure community and restorative justice principles not only survive but thrive within our own lives\, families\, and communities\, and as we reimagine the systems and structures that underpin our society. By joining together\, we will create impactful connections\, enable the exchange of ideas and knowledge\, and provide experiences that inspire tangible change. Together\, we have the capacity to establish a legacy that is inherently restorative\, leaving a profound and enduring mark on our world.

SUMMARY:Critical Incident Group Debriefing
DESCRIPTION:Critical incidents are situations that occur outside of our normal frame of reference and challenge us to understand and cope with what has happened. Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term group intervention process that focuses on an immediate event. CIGD is one of several methods that may be utilized to lessen the likelihood of people experiencing symptoms of trauma and stress after a critical incident. This group debriefing process provides a place for participants to talk and share experiences\, and for the facilitator to teach and provide information about the impact of critical incidents. While participants of this workshop will learn how to facilitate a group debriefing\, they will also learn how to discern when CIGD is appropriate for a group and when it might not be a suitable intervention. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand how people respond differently to the same event\nDescribe a framework for facilitating a group debriefing\nKnow the benefits and potential problems with group debriefing\nIdentify when critical incident group debriefing is appropriate\nApply principles learned to their own environment\n\n\n\nMethod of Delivery\nPresentation\, video\, case study exercises\, experiential practice\, personal reflection\, delivered electronically. \n\n*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials. \n\n\n\n\nSome of the Topics Included\n\nDefinitions and Overview\nRole of Group Debriefing\nPossible Reactions to a Critical Incident\nResponse Variables\nPost-Traumatic Stress Disorder\nGroup Debriefing History\nGroup Debriefing Models\nBenefits and Problems with Group Debriefing\nPreparing for a Group Debriefing\nCIGD Phases\nConsiderations About the Process\nTips for Facilitators\nCo-Facilitating\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an intermediate level workshop intended for school personnel\, social service and health care professionals\, counsellors\, social workers\, managers\, human resource professionals\, and anyone seeking a better understanding of how to facilitate a group debriefing after a tragic event. \n\n\nTerms & Conditions\nView our cancellation policy and other information regarding your live virtual workshop or for your in-person workshop. \nThis is a live virtual event\, please check your system requirements prior to registering. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: John Koop Harder\nMSW\, RSW\nJohn has been working as a therapist and trainer for over 20 years.
