August 3, 2015 –
Circles of Support training is designed to equip community members to form a circle of support and accountability around men and women coming out of incarceration or treatment programs as they reintegrate into the community.
Circles of Support are based on restorative justice principles that have been used since 1994 in Canada, United Kingdom and the United Sates to reduce recidivism and relapse and create safe communities.
This training will be for new Dakota County volunteers and any volunteers that want to refresh their learning. The schedule is:
