    Reentry Simulation for Employers in RI

    **There are 60 max participants for this training so please register soon!**


    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: 

    In partnership with Center for Health + Justice Transformation, Community College of Rhode Island, RI SHRM & DAIP invite you to attend Reentry Simulation, a unique hands-on opportunity to learn about the criminal legal system and reentry in Rhode Island.

    Approximately one-third of Rhode Islanders (300,000+) have had criminal legal involvement. From stigma and discrimination to restrictions in housing and employment, a criminal record follows someone long after their sentence is over. The CHJT Reentry Simulation is designed to give participants a first-hand glance into the numerous challenges that individuals face after incarceration. This interactive experience provides an opportunity for RI employers to better understand the complex realities of the criminal legal system, and begin a dialogue about adopting workplace policies that are more inclusive of families and individuals who are impacted by the criminal legal system.

    The simulation:

    • The first 4 weeks of post-release life are simulated in a 1.5-hour experience that is facilitated by an emcee (each week takes place in 15 minutes).
    • Participants are provided with the fictional identity of a reentering person and a packet of materials, including a description of the individual’s criminal background, living situation, job/income situation and weekly post-release requirements.
    • The simulation takes place in a large room with 16 stations, each representing a place the participants must visit each week, such as Treatment, Probation, Social Services, Court, etc. The simulation team (volunteers from the community) will staff the various stations, providing obstacles and assistance for the participants to navigate.
    • The emcee debriefs the event with a facilitated group discussion to help identify ways for participants, practices, and policies to be more inclusive of individuals who are Justice-involved.

    SCHEDULE:

    • TIME: 8:30 - 11:30 AM EST
    • COST: Free for members and non-members

    • FOOD/BEVERAGE: Light breakfast refreshments will be provided

    • LOCATION: CCRI Knight Campus board room, 400 East Ave., Warwick RI  (map and parking details to follow)

    • MAP/PARKING: Click HERE.

    • PARKING:  There’s plenty of parking available in the main lot. From there, participants will enter the campus via the main entrance bringing them to the 2nd floor. Elevators and stairs are to the left. We’ll be on the 4th floor in the Board Room 4090. Coming off the elevators, participants go down the hallway on the left to the back of the building. We’ll post signs directing them to the room. Campus map of the 4th floor included below:

      Accessible parking spots are available in the back of the building and participants would then enter on the ground level with elevators immediately to the right.

    The Art of Productive Complaining: Effective Coaching Tools for HR Professionals

    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: 

    Complaining: We all do it, yet most of us aren’t taught how to complain in ways that can lead to our desired outcomes. In fact, most people’s complaint styles damage their professional reputations and cause chronic health issues.

    When you’re the one who consistently receives complaints, what are the best practices to:

    • Transform frustrations into action;
    • Protect your health & wellbeing; and
    • Handle your own valid complaints?

    We will review the 4 different ways to complain and receive complaints, focusing on the one most effective method to move from a passive complaint recipient into an effective complaint coach so that you can improve your organization’s culture and protect your own health & wellbeing.

    Submit your own confidential complaints and questions prior to the program by clicking the link below or scanning the QR Code. As time allows, we will use the Productive Complaint Framework to address your situations.

    COMPLAINT SUBMISSION FORM

    OR Scan the below QR Code


    Following the program, attendees will receive an electronic workbook to help implement the new tools back at their own organization and even in their personal lives.

    OUR SPEAKER(S):


    Jessica Crowley

    Founder, Amalgamation Coaching + Community

    Prior to founding Amalgamation Coaching, Jessica was the Director of Human Resources at a community nonprofit. Jessica’s background spans 6 organizations across 3 industries ranging from interior design, higher education administration, and nonprofit management. The one thing each of these experiences have had in common is a culture of complaining. In fact, this pervasive culture is deteriorating the foundational trust within most organizations today.

    Jessica helps organizations create a common framework of understanding about how to complain productively, prevent burnout, and build trust through systems and policies that recognize each employee as an amalgamated, whole person whose innate value is integral to the organization’s success.

    As a founding board member of the startup nonprofit, The Connected Elephant, Jessica is committed to helping communities address difficult ‘elephant in the room’ issues of disparity through meaningful and constructive action steps and dialogue.

    Jessica earned a M.A. in Higher Education Administration from Boston College, and a B.A. in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College. She brings 15 years of experience as a Certified Professional Leadership Coach (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, ICF Accredited).
