Healing from harm isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, and we understand that. That’s why we offer a training series exploring different approaches to healing, including restorative dialogues, support circles, and restorative conferences. Throughout the training, you’ll have opportunities to experience and practice these processes through roleplays and video examples. You’ll learn how to create an approachable and inclusive space for individuals to share their experiences and find their path to healing.

Key topics of our Harm Repair Practice series include:

• Restorative Reflection: Guide individuals in reflecting on their feelings and brainstorming what the next steps could look like.
• Support Circles: Facilitate community gatherings that provide individuals with a supportive environment.
• Restorative Dialogue: Lead dialogues involving two facilitators and the parties involved.
• Restorative Conferencing: Bring together support persons, involved parties, and indirectly affected individuals to foster open communication and healing.
• Harm Repair Circles: Direct these circles less as a facilitator and more as a participant, allowing individuals to lead their own healing process.

Once you complete the training and begin volunteering, our experienced staff members are there to support you every step of the way, so you will continue to develop your skills.
