Black families are exposed to challenging circumstances when navigating the Youth Justice System. The court procedures, probation and conditions that the youth must abide by, are some of the things that they will have to deal with, most are not well informed of the different processes that will take place on this journey.  

In this webinar, we’ll discuss: 

• the emotional and psychological trauma  
• the practices that will benefit healing and growth   
• the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to rebuild lives and create a brighter future

At end, community workers will gain insights to help families and youth navigate challenges, thrive, and move beyond the system with hope and possibility. 

Simultaneous translation in French will be provided 

Speakers:

Adebisi Adeyemi, Case manager (mental health and counseling) at Durham Family and Cultural Center

Roxanne Brown, Restore, Reclaim and Rebuild Program Coordinator at Durham Family and Cultural Center
