Organizations Filed Purposes:
Healing Justice addresses the individual and community harm caused by wrongful convictions. We offer restorative programs to help people heal and conduct widespread education to improve our justice systems response in these cases.
With a funding grant from the US Department of Justices Office for Victims of Crime, we created a unique and comprehensive set of resources for improving support and services for crime victims and survivors in cases involving wrongful convictions. These resources included: practical professional tools for justice officials and service providers; peer-to-peer support videos for crime victims and survivors; and educational materials for the media and general public. These unique resources were the tangible products that resulted from this two-year grant and are hosted on a new public website created with the grant funding: www.survivorservices.org.
We hosted three national healing retreats for people impacted by wrongful convictions. We covered all costs for people to attend through individual donations from members of the public. Our retreats utilize restorative justice circles, art therapy, and other trauma-recovery activities to enable individual and community healing. Each retreat provides a safe, nurturing, and confidential space for people to come together, speak openly about their trauma and loss, provide support and understanding to one another, and learn tools for rebuilding their individual lives and their communities. We also offered monthly online group healing gatherings for individuals to continue their recovery between retreats.
Our third program service area involved our education, training, and technical assistance. In 2019, we conducted a variety of education, training, and/or technical assistance to justice officials (police, prosecutors, victim advocates, judges, etc.), service providers, students, and the general public in venues around the country. The goal of these activities was to expand and improve the services and support provided to people harmed by wrongful convictions and to raise awareness about their experiences and needs. All expenses for these programmatic activities were covered by individual donations.
