Lead the Fight with Fritzi Horstman: Childhood Trauma Related to the Prison Population

www.centerforchildcounseling.org | Center for Child Counseling | Fritzi Horstman, founder and executive director of the Compassion Prison Project, stresses seeing people “for who they are, not for what they’ve done” in her presentation during CFCC's Part III of its 2023 Lead the Fight series on Wednesday, April 19, 2023. Emceed by Eugenia Millender, Ph.D., RN, chair of the Center’s Board of Directors, the event addresses adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and childhood trauma in relation to the prison population. Horstman believes it is imperative that we address the chronic mental health issues in prison with common sense, compassion, and urgency. Compassion Prison Project is an organization dedicated to creating trauma-informed prisons and communities, bringing accountability and creative inspiration to all men and women living and working in prisons. In 2020, Horstman directed “Step Inside the Circle” at California State Prison, Los Angeles County with 235 incarcerated men. The video is a call to recognize the physical, emotional, and social impact ACEs have wrought upon society and stress the importance of care–not punishment–going forward in the prison system. During the event, Horstman dives into great detail about the video and the life-changing work she and her team are doing with incarcerated individuals and those who work in prisons. Center for Child Counseling developed "Lead the Fight" in 2016 to bring awareness to system leaders around fighting childhood adversity with advocacy and action.
