SUMMARY:Compassionate\, Community-Centered Responses to the Drug Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Individuals\, families\, and entire communities across the country have experienced the effects of the substance use and a drug crisis in recent years. We often think about drug policy or addiction recovery as an issue affecting “individuals.” In this session\, we want to think about substance use and recovery in a broader sense\, exploring what happens when communities come together to address substance use in their local communities in positive ways that help individuals and the community to heal.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubstance use affects many people within communities\, including the impacted individuals\, family and friends\, librarians\, first responders\, and business owners. Frequent occurrences of substance use in a community can affect the community’s identity\, local economy\, and sense of safety. How do communities who have faced challenges or human loss due to substance use heal afterwards? How have restorative practices been helpful to communities struggling with these questions? Our speakers can share both practice and policy that build stronger\, healthier communities for everyone.  \n\n\n\nHosted by the Center for Justice Reform at Vermont Law and Graduate School\, this event is part of an ongoing online series\, “Healing Communities to Heal the World.”  \n\n\n\nEsteemed guest speakers include: \n\n\n\nRicardo Bowden\, Executive Director of Peer360Kateri Coyhis\, Executive Director of White BisonHon. Eric Mehnert\, Chief Judge of Penobscot Nation \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register in advance by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Healing After an Economic Downturn
DESCRIPTION:Communities can hit hard times economically due to various factors\, including losing industry and employers. When communities lose industry\, they can also lose their identity\, and as a consequence\, the story of “who we were” can linger without a clear sense of “who we are today.” How have communities that have experienced economic downturns recovered and successfully gained their footing to create a brighter future? How can we help communities process economic trauma\, create collaborative atmospheres\, and identify action steps to move forward? What role do restorative practices play in assisting communities to heal and grow together? \n\n\n\nHosted by the Center for Justice Reform at Vermont Law and Graduate School\, this is event is part of an ongoing online series\, “Healing Communities to Heal the World.” \n\n\n\nEsteemed guest speakers include:  \n\n\n\nKennedy Smith\, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Self-RelianceSteve Sanders\, Director of Mill Site Redevelopment at One NorthMike Smith\, Executive Director of the Outdoor Sport Institute \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register in advance by clicking here.
