Foundations of Restorative Justice

Restorative Practices are tools that only hold meaning and power if a practitioner understands Restorative Justice as a philosophy and mindset. This experiential workshop asks participants to examine their own beliefs about relationships, community, harm, and repair, leaving this workshop with a greater understanding of why restorative practices are essential in schools and communities, the role their own self-awareness plays in that, and the importance of deepening community through restorative mindsets, language, and approaches to harm.
