Description
Have you ever considered how people experience the reality of relational ruptures (grief) and, more specifically, the impact disenfranchised grief has on the capacity of justice-involved individuals and their families in preparation for re-entry? As an attachment-narrative clinician and clergyperson, I have heightened awareness of the rippling impact ruptures and strained relationships have on people and their stories. In America, aggressive incarceration of persons, young and old, has disrupted family systems, debilitated communities, strained relationships (subjective and transcendent), and distorted views of self (real and ideal). The workshop aims to help stakeholders apply intentional sacred neighboring practices that can enhance resilience qualities critical to addressing the realities of persons experiencing the journey of reintegration.
