Whether you are a community facilitator of restorative practices, student, teacher, administrator, lawyer, judge, law enforcement officer, or political representative looking to expand or improve restorative resources, or simply a person who wants to see more healing social practices, we hope this site will provide information, inspiration, and solidarity!

​In recent years, we have seen the beginnings of powerful shifts in criminal justice, school discipline, and human resource approaches. The use of RJ practices is rising in a variety of ways throughout the country as a prevention, diversion and even healing opportunity.  May these practices continue to grow and inform both our responses to challenging situations, and the very connective fabric of our communities and individual lives.

All are welcome to our monthly statewide Zoom conference calls - every third (3rd) Thursday of the month at noon (12pmET) - to connect and grow our movement. Watch your email and our social media for details.  Your voice is important to us.  Please stay in the loop so that you are aware of latest information, upcoming events, legislative news, and new companions in Restorative Justice and Restorative Practices!​

With Care, Gratitude, and Solidarity,
Dan Kahn and J Thompson, Executive Co-Directors
