Restorative Mediation
Through guided dialogue participants are empowered to reach a mutually agreed-upon and long-term resolution that is in the best interest of all involved. This approach can be particularly effective in cases of divorce or child welfare, offering a constructive alternative to traditional adversarial processes or the need for court involvement. Restorative mediation can be a valuable resource for social service organizations, schools, and other institutions.
Circle Facilitation
Circle facilitation, rooted in Indigenous culture, offers a unique approach to group communication. A facilitator guides the discussion, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to speak and be heard. Circles encourage empathy and understanding in a supportive environment where all participants feel valued. Circle participation can help to build stronger relationships, foster teamwork, and provide a venue for inclusive decision-making in just about any environment–schools, workplace, nonprofits, community groups, and more!
Restorative Conferencing
This practice brings together offenders involved in a conflict or harm, the affected parties, and a trained facilitator. The aim is to engage in open and constructive dialogue while addressing the impact of the wrongdoing, determining what can be done to repair that harm, and holding the offender accountable for their actions. Restorative conferencing fosters empathy and active listening. It provides a platform for healing and reduces the likelihood of reoffending.
