A restorative justice approach works to repair harm and strengthen communities where wrong has occurred. It seeks to meet the needs of those harmed, while also considering the causes of the wrongful behaviour in order to promote accountability and growth for the one who caused harm. This highly experiential workshop utilizes a trauma-informed approach, and provides frameworks for identifying and responding to the needs of all those who were impacted by the wrong. Participants will be trained in the philosophy of restorative justice and will learn the foundational skills for facilitating encounters that lead to restorative outcomes.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  • List the principles of restorative justice as contrasted with retributive justice
  • Define common needs of those who have suffered, caused, and witnessed harm
  • Identify steps to apply a restorative justice framework to their own environment
  • Facilitate preparatory meetings for face-to-face encounters
  • Facilitate face-to-face restorative justice encounters
