Join us at the AAJ Symposium 2025, a transformative gathering dedicated to exploring and advancing the principles of restorative justice, equity, and renewal within our communities. This symposium aims to bring together thought leaders, practitioners, and community leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue and collaborative efforts toward creating a more just and equitable society.
Individuals with justice system involvement or individuals impacted by the justice system are among the most disadvantaged populations in the U.S. They often experience complex challenges and harmful stigmas that prevent them from successfully reentering society. These challenges include accessing education, employment, affordable housing, substance abuse treatment, health care, and family services. Architects have a unique opportunity to help. Learn how the key principles of trauma informed care can inform trauma informed design and create environments that actively address these challenges.
