July 12th, 2014 meeting: Victim Advocacy & Meta Communication

gavelA crime occurs. The police are busy with their investigation. Who provides help and support to the victims and their loved ones, both at the scene and in the sometimes-confusing criminal justice system?  Howard Druan from the Pima County Attorney’s Office will share stories about his life as a Victim Witness Advocate.

We’ll have a selection of delicious lunch entrees to choose from, and a fun book raffle.

Our afternoon workshop will be “Psychological Issues: Meta Communication, Part II.”  We had such great discussions that we ran out of time during the Meta Communication workshop previously presented by Kay Lesh, Ph.D. We welcome her back, this time with an emphasis on the communication between couples. What is Meta Communication? It’s what we say versus what’s really going on underneath. Kay will discuss how we can write those layers into our scenes and dialogue, including some practice writing.
