The Institute for Restorative Communities   

Just TALK

 
The Institute is currently developing plans for implementing Restorative Justice processes between crime victims and offenders.  As yet there is no program we offer through municipal justice systems but we are able to facilitate conversations between those who have been harmed in some way and those who have done the harm.  On request we can set up dialogues that seek understanding, create moments for healing, and develop mindful responses that are appropriate to the situation.

If you are the victim of a crime or have been harmed in some way, you may find that this path is a healing one.  Feelings can be overwhelming and having a way to release them, come to terms with the trauma and experience those who have harmed us in a safe context can make all the difference.  If you have harmed someone you will also find this process to be a healing journey and the best way to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and others.

To request a Restorative Practices Conference we invite you to fill out the contact form and we will be in touch to see how we can help in facilitating.
