Restorative Justice is a mindset, an approach to building community, self-care, and conflict resolution. It's a social justice platform that allows students to:

• Actively engage and problem-solve physical, psychological, social and disciplinary issues that affect themselves and the community.

• Take responsibility for their actions.

• Work with those affected to restore and/or repair the members and community who were harmed as a result of those actions.

The skills and processes often used in classrooms to build relationships, create connections, and prevent harm before it occurs. Restorative Practices can also be used to build a stronger community outside of the school that could translate to more positive outcomes and interactions.
