Description
"Restorative justice emphasizes repairing the harm caused by crime. When victims, offenders and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results can be transformational. Restorative Justice.org
Restorative justice has many applications in criminal justice, schools and the community which all address the harms, conflicts, and trauma we experience. The goal, regardless of the application, is to restore people through courageous dialogue.
We do this with restorative justice practices, community education, consulting, and coaching.
