Reentry Simulation: “In Their Shoes”
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 30, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Whether you work with the courts, parole or probation, children, or adult social services, with their families or with community services, this hands-on simulation demonstrates the justice-involved person’s exhaustive journey to self-sufficiency and the barriers that may contribute to feelings of helplessness and defeat. Participants will encounter the same challenges faced by many individuals as they try to complete their court-ordered or case plan obligations of specialty courts or community supervision, as well as prioritize their day-to-day life. By the end of the hour long, eye-opening simulation, participants will have experienced a month in the life of someone who has recently been released from a long stay in prison, treatment, or jail. The simulation suggests that the ability to navigate "the system" may be influenced or altered by “us,” the helpers of the system, and it may be a primary factor in the relationship between resiliency and recidivism. This training session was awarded the Arizona Judicial Staff Training of the Year for 2018.
