2023 Baltimore Mitigation Skill-Building Training

The 2023 Baltimore Mitigation Skill-Building Training will be held on October 11 – 13  at the Central Location of the Enoch Pratt Library. Led by Dr. Jill Patterson, an expert in narrative defense and fiction writing, this training will guide practitioners through a series of intensive small-group workshops, providing the tools to compose narratives that are both compelling and evidence-based. At the conclusion, attendees will have developed tools and resources to convey a client’s life story more effectively to various decision-makers. This year’s training agenda will be available soon. See the 2022 agenda here.
​
There is no cost to attend the training, however, participants will be responsible for lodging, travel, meals, and other expenses related to attending this training.

Capacity is limited to 40 participants due to the intensive nature of this skills-based training. Interested participants will need to complete an application to be considered for attendance.
