5BW Integrated Primary Prevention Lunch n Learn: Horseshoes & Hand Grenades: When Close Doesn’t Cut It with Expectations of Closure

For victims seeking justice and holding offenders accountable, emotional closure doesn’t occur when the court process is finished, and the jail door slams shut. Sometimes there is no jail door, and the offender continues through life without consequence. This workshop will illustrate the ways in which victims can navigate the emotional highs and lows that come with working through the criminal justice system. Techniques on how to assist victims through the process of recovering from trauma while they simultaneously experience the cold realities of the justice system will also be highlighted.

Guest Speakers: Tara Bjornson, MA-FP & Jill McDonald, MPA
