Restorative Justice: The basics

Restorative justice (RJ) is an approach to community building rooted in native American practices of community integration and healing. Restorative justice and other restorative practices can be integral in recovering from crisis, community harm and/or social injustice. This model involves harmed communities and sometimes integrates those who have harmed within the community. This workshop will give and overview of RJ principles and practices that contribute to healing from trauma and community harm. In addition, this session will provide examples of how this approach has been effectively utilized in clinical settings, the classroom and community-based research.
