What the future might hold for communities that invest in alternatives to traditional criminal justice practices? The latest in CNDR’s New Frontiers speaker series is a conversation with Susan Stone and David Cherniss on their innovative past and present Restorative Justice programs in San Francisco and San Mateo, CA.

From CNDR: So many of us are relying on social media to keep connected with others during these challenging times, yet few of us know how to effectively disagree online, and there’s so much to disagree about! Join this interactive workshop where we’ll discuss better ways to disagree online. We’ll go over simple techniques that can help you keep friends, and create openness to other ways of thinking. There will be practice and group discussion to cultivate ideas for more effective ways to disagree online.

*SOLD OUT* From CNDR: Human emotions are vital in mediation: They let us know what matters, they help us connect with others, and they propel us to action. At the same time, people in conflict often experience intense negative emotions that can derail a mediation. This session will provide a basis for understanding the neurobiology of emotion, as well as provide tools for enhancing the positive emotions – and managing the negative emotions – of participants, attorneys, and mediators themselves.
