Central Florida Community to Convene 5th Annual Resilience Conference on May 11-12th

 

The Peace and Justice Institute and the Resilience Network will present its 5th Annual Resilience Conference on Thursday May 11th and Friday May 12th in Winter Park, Florida.

This year's conference will focus on the strides that the Central Florida criminal justice, public safety, mental health, and educational sectors are making to move from punishing individuals towards true discipline. Participants will hear from national experts and local change makers on their efforts to create systems that support mental health, prevent trauma, restore, heal, and transform.
