SUMMARY:MAC | Wellness Workshop: Being and Becoming: Connecting with Our Inner Wisdom for Liberation and Joy
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis session invites participants to pause and reconnect with their inner wisdom through the practice of Sankalpa\, a Sanskrit word meaning “deep intention” or “resolve.” Drawing from yoga philosophy and mind-body medicine\, we’ll explore how clarifying what matters most can guide sustainable action and resilience in demanding work. \nParticipants will be guided through a short Wise Guide meditation to access intuition\, reflect on the four core desires of the soul: purpose (dharma)\, prosperity (artha)\, joy (kama)\, and liberation (moksha) — and create a Sankalpa: a clear\, present-tense intention to guide the next six months. \nThey’ll leave with a personalized intention\, simple grounding practices to return to it daily\, and a renewed connection to the deeper “why” that sustains their work over time. \nThis workshop will be recorded\, the recording will be made available exclusively for MAC members. \nAbout the Trainer\nRochelle Younan-Montgomery \nAs the Founder and CEO of The Reset\, Rochelle now leads with a bold vision: that leadership rooted in mindfulness\, equity\, and nervous system regulation can be a force for healing and systemic change. Her approach is both strategic and deeply embodied—drawing from her training as a trauma-informed yoga instructor\, Certified Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) practitioner\, racial justice facilitator\, and somatic abolitionist. \nShe’s also a published author\, a mother of two\, and a fierce believer in collective care. Rochelle’s work is about more than workplace performance—it’s about helping leaders return to themselves\, so they can lead with courage\, rest\, and integrity. \nRegister Through MAC\n  \n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse IPV in the LGBTQ+ Community
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCulture is culture\, and if you aren’t part of it\, you can’t always make sense of it right away. Queer and trans survivors of IPV often face additional barriers to safety\, above and beyond the difficulties all survivors face\, whether it’s from the specific\, identity-based tactics their abuser uses\, from an unsupportive or estranged family\, or a history of cold\, even contemptuous\, responses from those who represent the system. Even the most well-intentioned first responders and advocates can struggle to adequately serve this population without an awareness of these barriers and their history. \nLearning Objective\n\nDemonstrate both the differences and shared experiences of LGBTQ+ community members in general and IPV survivors in particular.\nApproach LGBTQ+ survivors with a deeper understanding of the barriers already at play long before the 911 call was made.\nRecognize the impact of words and actions that may seem innocuous from the outside and how slight adjustments can make a huge difference in LGBTQ+ survivors feeling seen\, heard\, and understood by first responders.\n\nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Not Another "Self-Care" Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n“Self-Care” as a concept had a promising start when introduced to the field.  At its best\, it was attempting to give acknowledgment that the job is hard and we need to honor ourselves. \nUnfortunately\, it has now devolved into a concept that\, at best\, is unattainable\, and\, at worst\, makes you feel worse (the exact opposite of what self-care is supposed to do). \nThis webinar will discuss concrete alternatives to the idea of “self-care” and address reasons why it can actually be a high-risk strategy for providers in the field. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse The Intersection of Human Trafficking and Financial Investigations
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nHuman trafficking affects an estimated 50 million victims globally\, with approximately 400\,000 individuals exploited in the United States through sex trafficking\, labor trafficking\, or domestic servitude. This illicit trade generates staggering profits—approximately $240 billion annually—surpassing the earnings of major Fortune 500 companies such as Apple\, Amazon\, and Disney. \nTraditionally\, law enforcement has relied heavily on victim testimony to secure convictions against traffickers. However\, this approach presents significant challenges\, as proving a human trafficking case often depends on victims who may be unable or unwilling to testify due to fear\, trauma\, or other barriers. \nFortunately\, alternative strategies exist to target traffickers effectively. Like narcotics trafficking\, human trafficking generates enormous profits that are difficult to hide. This webinar will explore how investigators can conduct parallel financial investigations\, leveraging federal money laundering statutes and resources such as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to disrupt traffickers’ operations and strengthen cases. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n
