Restorative Justice
“What happened?”
“What harm was caused?”
“What was the impact of the harm?”
“How can the harm be repaired?”
Restorative Justice is a facilitated dialogue between people harmed by an incident and those who have caused the harm. The dialogue takes place in a listening circle with a trained restorative justice facilitator guiding the conversation. Anyone who might have been involved or directly impacted by an incident are invited to participate. They include family members, friends, peers, teachers, school administrators, store owners, or property owners. The process allows everyone to voice their perspective and to agree on what must be done to repair the harm.
Conciliation
Conciliation, less formal than mediation, uses a neutral third party to facilitate settlement by clarifying issues and relaying messages, keeping negotiations calm and forward-moving.
Conflict Exploration/Coaching
The conflict engagement practitioner only works with one party in a conflict. The practitioner explores with that party a range of options that have helped others in difficult situations and conversations. The party is then free to choose the approach(s) that may work best for their situation.
Group Facilitation
Impartial facilitators guide group discussions, enabling constructive dialogue for problem-solving, conflict management, strategic planning, and decision-making. They remain neutral, offering no opinions or decisions.
