Transformative Justice: Practices in Interpersonal & Community Repair

About this Event

Please note Introduction to Transformative Justice: Beyond Punishment & the Carceral State is a prerequisite for this workshop.

Building on the foundation established in the introductory session, this workshop explores practices and case studies in community accountability, crisis intervention, harm reduction and collective interventions in instances of interpersonal and community violence. Working through difficult questions, considerations and challenges in practicing the messy and iterative work of transformative justice, participants will engage in small groups to explore potential opportunities and risks. Competencies for TJ facilitators will also be explored, alongside practices for resiliency in the course of engaging in the challenging work of transformation and repair.

Although this session touches briefly on carceral systems, the core focus is interpersonal practices and implications, rather than theoretical abolitionist frameworks.

This workshop is open to all individuals who have completed the prerequisite, including but not limited to professional and/or emerging Transformative Justice facilitators.

We strive to create a brave space for all participants. In order to help folks make bold moves into progressive thinking and actions, all conversations and material shared during these workshops are strictly confidential and cannot be shared through media of any kind.

Content Warning: Please note this workshop engages directly with instances of harm, abuse and violence.
