What are Restorative Practices?

The core of restorative practices is building and restoring relationships.

Restorative practices are proven tools for helping people to listen, to talk—and to understand.

Before conflicts arise or harm is done, restorative practices make it possible for people to build relationships. After harm has been done, restorative practices bring people together to talk about the impact of that behavior on themselves and their community.

Restorative justice practices aim to:

• Put decisions into the hands of those most affected by harm;

• Make justice more healing, and ideally more transformative; and,

• Reduce the likelihood of future offenses.
