The Florida Restorative Justice Association (FRJA) is the statewide professional membership organization founded in Tallahassee in 2014 by the collective visioning of Dr. Cindy Bigbie, Julya Rose Taylor Denholm DeMaria, and Kelly McGrath, Esq.; three friends and colleagues dedicated to creating a just and peaceful world.
FRJA honors and centers the wisdom of Indigenous people, many of whom inhabited Florida, whose natural way of being provided the foundation for the evidence-based practice of Restorative Justice. Since 2014, FRJA has grown into a statewide association of restorative justice facilitators, practitioners, advocates and community members working to create equitable connections in our community that provide a safer and healthier environment.
Together, we support each other to advance the field of Restorative Justice by utilizing the art of circle facilitation and storytelling to create connections, share knowledge, advance accountability after harm, make amends, and advocate for change.
