Our Mission
inspire.
Determining the Programs, Policies, and Services Needed to Rebuild the Lives of Criminal Justice Involved Women and Men.
Our Values
A pathway to well-being.
We are dedicated to the creation of an environment whereby those involved in the criminal justice system can be provided with appropriate supervision, treatment, services, and referrals to safely engage and succeed in their own recovery.
Collectively, we must envision a system of justice that provides a pathway to well-being for all who are involved.
What Do We Offer?
Turning
knowledge into
meaningful change.
Research & Evaluation
We conduct rigorous, applied research and evaluation to understand complex issues, identify gaps, and generate evidence that can improve programs, practices, and systems.
Training & Technical Assistance
We provide training, technical assistance, and consultation to organizations and systems seeking to strengthen trauma-responsive and evidence-informed approaches.
Education & Awareness
We translate research and experience into accessible knowledge that increases understanding, raises awareness of overlooked issues, and encourages meaningful change.
Collaboration & Partnerships
We bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, organizations, and people with lived experience to share knowledge, strengthen collective understanding, and develop solutions.
Knowledge Translation & Dissemination
We bridge the gap between research and practice by turning evidence into practical insights and information that can inform programs, policies, and systems.
Research becomes most valuable when it is translated into understanding, collaboration, and practical action.
A Special Initiative
Mica’s Mission.
Envisioning Justice Solutions (EJS) has expanded its services to criminal justice-involved women who grieve and attempt to survive the death of a child. There are little to no services for incarcerated mothers suffering in isolation.
Donations are requested to realize this vision to provide resources and support to help heal from this trauma and to honor the life of Mica Messina (5/26/2000 - 8/1/2023).
Who Can Benefit?
Supporting the people and systems working toward better outcomes.
Our experts can provide criminal justice and substance use treatment professionals and other state and county agencies with up-to-date research and information regarding treatment interventions including information on primary needs, setting, implementation, and multi-agency collaboration.
