This 10-hour course provides an engaging, hands-on introduction to Restorative Justice Practices. Participants will learn foundational concepts, such as the Restorative Mental Model, and experience an iterative process known as Circle. Structural elements of Circle – the use of a talking piece, check-in round, and shared decision making – provide all participants an equal voice and agency over the process.
The course is being offered online in May 2026 and can also be delivered on site on request. If you are interested in scheduling this course at your workplace, please contact us.
