This course will give participants the tools to conduct such an investigation. This course will include lectures from nationally recognized experts. In small group sessions\, faculty and coaches will assist participants with an active case to complete a multi-level historical investigation that would be helpful at any dispositional phase of your case. \nCourse Objectives:  By the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nUtilize strategies and tools to investigate and humanize clients’ lives.\nElevate litigation and mitigation tactics to protect and affirm clients’ due process rights.\nReview studies\, research\, reports\, etc.\, documenting the impact of violence\, injustice\, and poverty on clients’ well-being and long-standing effects.\nParticipate in and model normalizing forthright dialogues about the relevance of history and its social context to clients’ lived experiences via discussion boards and group discussions.\nIncrease awareness\, appreciation\, and utilization of the impact of historical trauma\, prejudice\, oppression\, culture\, and community trauma.\nSupport each other in a small group space for debriefing\, brainstorming\, incubating ideas\, and providing accountability for goals.\n\nWeekly Small Group Meetings: Mondays at 4:00-5:30 pm ET | 3:00-4:30 pm CT | 2:00-3:30 pm MT | 1:00-2:30 pm PT \nCourse Faculty: Dr. Sharon Jones-Eversley and Dr. Donavan Bailey\, with additional guest faculty \nSharon Jones-Eversley\, DrPH\, is a Professor Emeritus and Social Epidemiologist from Towson University.

Meeting fellow leaders and knowing that I’m not alone in my leadership struggles. “\n“I loved the materials. I worked hard on my assignments and I have some really great things to implement in my office. I loved meeting fellow Defenders who are coaching in different places and facing different struggles.”\n“I really liked the small group discussions. It really forces people to open up about the challenges they face in a productive way\, instead of these challenges silently weighing on people or being the topic of more toxic discussions within their offices.”
