Partnering with Parents: Equipping Communities to Partner with Families for the Flourishing of Justice-Involved Youth
Thursday, October 31st-1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
“Partnering with Parents: Equipping Faith-Based Communities to Partner with Families for the Flourishing of Justice-Involved Youth.” This convening was held on Thursday, October 31, 2024, from 1:00PM – 3:00 PM EST on Zoom.
The flourishing of youth is often intrinsically linked to the flourishing of their families. It is critical, therefore, that families receive the resources and support necessary to pursue restorative justice. This convening will examine the ways in which communities, including nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, and houses of worship, can best engage with and provide support for families before and during involvement in the justice system. The panels will provide insights into how engagement with the entire family unit, rather than focusing solely on the child, can lead to positive change.
The convening may give you and your church, organization, or agency ideas on how to improve the programming and services you currently provide youth or practical ways to get involved. Now is a critical time for faith-based leaders to engage with these issues and help strengthen our communities.
