Restorative Justice (RJ) is a community based approach to justice that is based in relationship, accountability and transformation of harm. It is a set of processes used to support an integrated approach to the interconnectivity of community, harm and impact.
Restorative Justice is influenced by Indigenous cultures from around the world.
Restorative Justice is not about relying on the dichotomous thinking of right and wrong but more around the myriad of choices that people make. RJ is a chance to restore relationships and heal some of the harm created.
RJ is also supports community building to support healthy engagement or to approach the healing of grief.
As a trained circle keeper, I am available to support communities, families, and individuals with restorative concepts and practices.
Please contact me for information and options for support.
