We’re so proud to see the incredible work being done with Power Source at the DC DYRS!

Today at the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention conference in Washington, DC, I had the privilege of meeting Jessica Linick, PhD, SEP co-author of Power Source. Our conversation centered on the importance of trauma-informed care—not only for justice-involved youth, but also for the staff who work tirelessly to support them. Dr. Linick’s insights into creating environments that foster healing and resilience were inspiring. It’s a reminder that addressing trauma holistically is essential to creating meaningful change in the juvenile justice system and our communities. Thank you, Dr. Linick, for your continued dedication to this vital work!

It was wonderful to chat with friends from Edovo at the Correctional Education Association conference in September! Edovo, a host of our eLearning Program, is a non-profit organization making educational, vocational, and rehabilitative curricula and content accessible to incarcerated people. #corrections #educationincorrections #justiceimpacted #recidivism
