Healing Justice provides longer-term, multi-month technical assistance consultations with individual agencies to help develop and implement policies, practices, and resources that protect post-conviction victims’ rights and provide holistic post-conviction victim services.
We offer two formats of technical assistance: “Comprehensive” and “Abridged” depending on the budget and availability of your agency.
“As a new DA this was very instructive about the human impact of post-conviction proceedings on families.”
Prosecutor
“This program opened my eyes to the harm caused when victims are not contacted/informed about updates/progress in their case. I see now it is re-victimization when we do not do our job and communicate with them. We cannot take their power away and I did not think about that aspect prior to this program. So thank you!”
