N/A http://www.girlscoutseasternmass.org/aboutus/events.html?id=6981 Among the many programs for girls managed by the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, our Girl Scouts Beyond Bars (GSBB) is the most poignant. The GSBB program has been reconnecting girls to their incarcerated moms in Massachusetts for 11 years. Our program has been effective in maintaining and re-establishing family relationships, however, there are more children and incarcerated parents who are in need of these types of services. The goal of the symposium is manifold: --Bring attention to the need of programs which foster healing environments for families with incarcerated members --Hear from funders best practices in securing funding for these programs and how to best navigate the present economy --Encourage those in the judicial system to incorporate rehabilitative programs such as these in their sentencing practices --Identify ways to bring awareness of these programs to the general public Our panelists (biographies) will represent those from the legal and correction professions, funders, researchers, and family advocacy agencies: Facilitator: Honorable Kay Khan, State Representative, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Panel: Harold W.
