Has your child or someone you know ever been
harmed?
Have you yourself harmed another at home,
school, or work?
Restorative Justice Practices is a program designed through special mediation to
Keep Our Homes and Schools Safer!
Restorative
Practice is "peace building"
instead of "peacemaking",
conflict "transformation" rather
than conflict "resolution."
Slogan:
“Conflict is opportunity; don’t waste it.”

Howard Zehr shares "Restorative practices three's":
3 assumptions underlie restorative practice:
3 assumptions underlie restorative practice:
* When people and relationships are harmed, needs are created.
* The needs created by harms lead to obligations.
* The obligation is to heal and “put right” the harms; this is a
just response.
3
principles of restorative practice reflect these assumptions. A
just response:
* acknowledges
and repairs the harm caused by, and revealed by, wrongdoing (restoration);
* encourages
appropriate responsibility for addressing needs and repairing the harm
(accountability);
* involves
those impacted, including the community, in the resolution (engagement).
3 underlying values provide the foundation:
3 underlying values provide the foundation:
* Respect
* Responsibility
* Relationship
3
questions are central to
restorative practices:
*Who has been hurt?
*What are their needs?
*Who has the obligation to address
the needs, to put right the harms, to restore relationships?
(As opposed to: What rules were broken? Who did it? What do
they deserve?)
3 stakeholder groups should be considered &/or involved:

3
aspirations guide restorative practices: the desire to live in right
relationship:
*with one another
*with the creation
*with the Creator
True peace requires us not to just make peace by ending conflicts but to build an infrastructure for peace.

Restorative Practices has the potential to positively influence human behavior and strengthen civil society around the world.” RP “give individuals the opportunity to take responsibility for and become accountable for their actions, give victims the opportunity to learn about and be intimately involved in the outcome of their case, and give all parties the opportunity to create an agreement that will address and resolve the harm.”
