This two-day transformative workshop engages participants using small group work, mini-lectures, video presentations, readings, and other activities to provide an experience-based introduction to restorative justice in criminal-legal involved settings. Designed to be highly interactive, the workshop explores topics such as concepts of justice, indigenous roots of restorative practice, along with principles and implementation strategies. Participants will engage in discussions surrounding individual, relational and systemic ways to implement restorative practices and processes to obtain more just outcomes for those who are system involved.

This training is designed for those working in and/or partnering with criminal-legal institutions.

We offer scholarships due to the societal inequities that exist in our community that systematically advantage some groups of people over others. Our priority is for those who have been or are currently system involved and those who have been disadvantaged systemically in our society. Those working in institutional settings, please check with your employer for funding sponsorship. We rely upon the honor system, so if you feel you should be prioritized for funding, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Payments: Payments should be made prior to attending the training. For an invoice to generate purchase order payment please contact CRJ staff.
