Flex Your Rapport
SESSION INFO
Monday, January 27, 2025
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
We will explore the life changing power of building positive rapport and letting go of the power dynamic with those we supervise. In this workshop we will highlight the benefits of specialty programs and how the impact of building a trusting and positive relationship can create lasting success and behavior change in individual lives. We will discuss how collaborating with treatment providers, recovery mentors, deputy district attorneys, defense attorneys, and Judges, not only benefits those in the justice system but their families and the community at large. We will hear directly from some participants in our justice reinvestment programs and how the program and their relationship with their PO helped them create the changes they desired.
