What we provide:
Empowerment
Another key outcome of restorative justice processes is empowerment. The process empowers the individuals involved by allowing them to have a voice in the process and to take responsibility for their actions. It also empowers the community by giving them a sense of ownership over the process and the outcomes.
Healing and reconciliation
Restorative justice processes aim to bring healing and reconciliation to those affected by the harm. The process provides a safe and brave space for participants to express their emotions, concerns, and needs, and to hear the perspectives of others. This can lead to a greater understanding of the situation and an opportunity for healing to unfold. Restorative justice processes also provide an opportunity for community members to come together and support each other in the process of healing and reconciliation.
Reparation
One of the primary outcomes of a restorative justice process is reparations or restoration of harm caused by the wrongdoing. The process involves a dialogue between the parties involved, which aims to identify the harm caused and how to repair it. In addition of restitution, this could involve actions such as policy change, behavior change, further education, mentor/mentee-ship, engagement of healing modalities, job readiness, job creation, entrepreneurial endeavors, the creation and expression of art, participating in advocacy, mutual aid, environmental clean-up/beautification, research and writing and/or cultural immersion.
