Reaching Victims Who Have an Incarceration History: A Webinar for Service Providers

Crime victims who have a history of incarceration carry both the trauma of suffering violence and the burden of stigma that comes from having spent time behind bars. This stigma can create real barriers to healing. In this webinar, victim service providers from rural Iowa and Newark, New Jersey will discuss how they have worked intentionally to open their doors to formerly incarcerated survivors, support their staff to work with this population, and create trauma-informed programs that reach more survivors in their communities.
