You will be part of a team that unpacks a conflict or misbehavior by actively listening to offenders, victims, and other participants. We seek to help each participant understand themselves and others better and then explore and agree to solutions that heal harm and build trust in each other. When we focus on healing harms, we maintain & strengthen each person’s connection to our community.
