NYC Justice Peer Initiative: Peer Support for Individuals in Crisis
July 23 @ 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
The NYC Justice Peer Initiative (JPI) is a non-profit organization, fiscally sponsored by CASES, that launched in 2020. This broad coalition of Justice Peers, allies, friends and employers have developed a community focused on a peer-led effort to expand and leverage the power of Justice Peers to contribute to criminal legal system (CLS) transformation.
The Peer Support for Individuals in Crisis All-day training will help trainees develop approaches to helping others in crisis, with strengths-based communication and use recovery oriented language to engage in a positive peer interaction to de-escalate the situation.
