Register for Webinar: Circles of Support and Accountability–An Innovative Approach to the Management of Sex Offenders Hosted by the National Reentry Resource Center, with funding support from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance Date: Thursday, November 10 Time: 2–3:30 p.m. ET When returning home after incarceration, people convicted of sexual offenses face many obstacles that prevent them from securing housing and accessing employment and educational opportunities. These obstacles are also often compounded by additional barriers, including limited access to prosocial activities and restrictions on reuniting with family, among others. The Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) model focuses on the safe reintegration of people returning home from incarceration through community involvement and collaboration. Presenters will: Provide an overview of the CoSA model and describe what implementation looks like across the country; Review Vermont’s CoSA model, which has seen effective results in community reintegration and recidivism reduction; and Discuss how evidence-based programming can help improve outcomes and better integrate people with sexual offense convictions into broader reentry strategies.
