What Does Different Look Like?
What Does Different Look Like - An opportunity to elevate the lessons learned over five years through the Community Crime Victim Services Grant program which was designed to address some of the most hard to reach community members who experienced being a victim of crime, namely communities of color, men and young adults. The project began in 2019 and completed successful sunset review and awarded additional resources though the Colorado Legislature. We will explore what mindsets, actions and relationships went into creating this new model. Exploring gifts of community engagement, public and private partnerships and effective strategies to promote healing. The session will include activities that promote understanding on how to build relationships across differences, exploring how to enhance access to services for hard to reach communities and how to align creating funding opportunities to address inequity in funding
