Restorative Justice Program
We are excited to announce the Restorative Justice (RJ) Program!
The Restorative Justice (RJ) program will provide access to restorative practices
and tools. The process will examine the harmful impact of conflict(s) in the workplace
and/or academic setting and what can be done to repair that harm while holding the
person who caused the harm accountable for their actions. In Restorative terminology,
"harm" is described as a violation of relationships, ranging from personal to professional
to community relationships. Accountability for the offender means accepting responsibility
and acting to repair the harm done. Outcomes seek to both repair the harm and address
the reasons for the offense, while reducing the likelihood of re-offense. Rather than
focusing on the punishment meted out, restorative justice measures results by how
successfully the harm is repaired.
Restorative Practices
Restorative practices include community circles and conferences designed to give employees an opportunity to connect with one another and gain a greater understanding of community needs.
