Headed to the Coast

I'm headed to New Bern, NC this morning for the NC Department of Correction Re-entry Conference. I'll be presenting a workshop entitled, Safety and Support for Communities. The audience is mostly people from community-based organizations who work with or house people re-entering society after incarceration. Many of the people leaving prison are either victims or perpetrators of domestic violence. My workshop will focus on how best to serve people who may still be in danger or who may still be creating danger in the lives of others. Especially since some abusers went to prison for crimes that had nothing to do with the violent crimes they committed so they are under the radar.

If you know me, you know I only just packed this morning and that I usually fill every moment up until leaving and today is no different - so, it's time to hit the road! I've got a shoebox full of my favorite CDs (it's true - I don't own an iPod!). Off to the coast!
