Restorative Mindset
A restorative mindset describes how a person understands one's role in their community
The values and concepts that underlie a restorative mindset include:
Relationships and trust are at the center of community
All members of the community are responsible to and for each other
Multiple perspectives are welcomed and all voices are equally important
Healing is a process essential to restoring community
Harm-doers should be held accountable for and take an active role in repairing harm
Conflict is resolved through honest dialogue and collaborative problem-solving that addresses the root cause and the needs of those involved.
Restorative Framing
What happened?
What were you thinking at the time?
What have you thought about since?
Who was affected and how?
What needs to happen to make things right?
Restorative Circles & Mediation
A restorative circle is an approach to repairing harm that has been done within a community. Participants in a restorative circle are encouraged to be open and honest about their perspectives regarding a conflict, how they have been harmed, and how they think others might have been harmed.
