Our communications training workshops are designed to train exonerated individuals how to communicate their experiences effectively for advocacy and other public speaking. Storytelling is a powerful and healing way to cope with trauma and stress. It can help exonerees express, reframe, and connect with their experiences. Storytelling has an important role in advocating for yourself, for others, and for change. And speaking skills can lead exonerees into paid speaking opportunities.
