INVITING DIALOGUE TRAINING SERIES

Victim Offender Dialogue brings together those affected by criminal offenses in an effort to repair harm done, foster direct accountability, and heal broken relationships. Drawing on CJI's 25 years experience convening victim offender dialogue at all levels of justice, this hands-on professional development course will guide participants through the mindset, values and skills of facilitating these processes with diverse participants. This course will be taught in three consecutive segments. Depending on previous training or experience, participants may choose to enrol in the full course or the segments most relevant to them. Completion certificates will be presented at the conclusion of each session.
