Women Engaged Conference: Pathways to Support Women Who Have Lost A Child

Date: Saturday, June 23, 2018
Time: 9AM – 2PM
Location: 21c Louisville

The Women Engaged Conference: Pathways to Support Women Who Have Lost Children is designed to create sustainable support networks for women in our communities, particularly those who have lost a child to violence, illness, accident, or incarceration. Utilizing trained peer support persons from community and licensed counselors, we want to provide women with a safe space to grieve, recover, and grow in healthy and productive ways. Additionally, the conference will provide participants with the tools, resources, and connections they need well beyond the conference event.

Women who have lost a child and women seeking to support them are invited to attend.  

The event will include: an opening keynote from WE founder, Diane Brown; a panel discussion comprised of community members, health professionals, and others; brunch; breakout sessions facilitated by trained peer mentors; and a closing keynote. Please purchase your tickets below.

JustLeadershipUSA (JLUSA) is dedicated to cutting the US correctional population in half by 2030. JLUSA empowers people most affected by incarceration to drive policy reform.

Emerging Leadership Development Training for the Formerly Incarcerated
JLUSA believes that America’s most challenging barrier to expansive, systemic criminal and juvenile justice reform is the absence of clear and consistent leadership by those who have been directly affected by our failed criminal justice policies. Through our Emerging Leaders trainings and our 12-month Leading with Conviction training, JLUSA is building a nationwide network of advocates and organizers united by a shared vision for justice reform.

Emerging Leaders are highly motivated individuals with a strong commitment to making a real difference in their community of choice. Typically, they are just stepping into their role as organizational and/or community leaders and must simultaneously juggle their professional development needs with their desire to make real change. Our regional Emerging Leaders trainings are professional sessions with a skilled facilitator and a dynamic and participatory agenda.

All Emerging Leaders participants must have prior involvement with the criminal justice system (juvenile and/or criminal justice involvement is required to be eligible and includes but is not limited to: actual incarceration [served time in jail and/or prison], arrest with or without conviction, under community supervision, i.e. parole, sentenced to probation-only, and involvement as a client in the juvenile justice system).

While not required, participants with the following characteristics are most successful and gain most from Emerging Leaders training:

• Are members, employees or clients in-good-standing with a regional partnership organization.
• Have a demonstrated track record of leadership within their community.
• Are committed to ongoing leadership development and expansion beyond the emerging leadership training itself.
• Are committed to systemic criminal and juvenile justice reform.
• Have at least one year from date of release of previous incarceration so as to be able to take full advantage of JLUSA’s investment in their leadership development.
