    At this week’s meetup, Forensic Social Worker Isacha Sandy will share how she has created video mitigation in an accessible, budget-friendly way to help humanize clients facing legal systems. This session will explore core principles of effective storytelling, ethical considerations, and creative strategies for working within limited resources. Isacha will highlight the use of video in sentencing advocacy, family reunification, and trauma-informed casework, offering insight into how these tools can amplify client voice and context.
    Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to produce compelling video content using accessible tools—no advanced technical background required.
    Join us to see what cool things she has done and learn how to do it yourself!
