Resources for Practitioners

Healing Justice provides presentations, trainings, and technical support to police, prosecutors, victim service providers, judges, and other service providers who work with crime victims, survivors, and their families. In collaboration with the US Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime, we have created resources and tools that can be used in the field to better serve crime victims and survivors post-conviction.

In addition to the information and resources on this site, we collaborated with the US Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime, the National Center for Victims of Crime, and Video Action to provide specialized tools available on a new website, Post-Conviction Survivor Resources. Visit the site to hear directly from victims and survivors in these cases, and to access critical victim services guidelines, practical templates, sample policies, and other key resources for providing support in the post-conviction setting.

These short videos offer a preview of the experiences in these cases and how Healing Justice can help:
