Restorative Justice Consulting Services
I have over thirty-five years of experience in our legal system working out conflict, and as a result, I've learned a lot of lessons. I bring each of those to the consultation work I do in restorative justice.
As a Restorative Justice Consultant, I aim to foster healing, reconciliation, and community building through tailored initiatives that address court systems, educational institutions, and communities' unique needs.
With a diverse portfolio spanning collaborations with courts, schools, and employers, I specialize in implementing restorative justice practices that emphasize accountability, empathy, and restoration over punitive measures.
Restorative Justice Program Implementation
Court Systems
One of my significant collaborations includes partnering with a federal court's drug court program to integrate a restorative justice component into the program. The program was designed to provide opportunities for restorative justice dialogues and circles of support and accountability.
Educational Systems
I worked with a state-wide educational program providing services to disabled students to create a foundation of restorative practices for the program. I have also worked with several specific school districts to develop initiatives and train essential staff to implement those initiatives.
Employers
Beyond court and school settings, I have also collaborated with various employers to develop processes for addressing grievances using restorative practices
Communities
I have worked with several communities to create community-building circles where members come together to discuss issues such as addressing conflict, disagreements over gun regulation, and participation in community activities.
Training
In other situations, organizations, educational and legal institutions, and communities have requested that I work with them to provide training to their staff or members so that they can implement restorative justice processes or practices. These include train-the-trainer events as well as hands-on training for practitioners.
Custom Training Curriculum Development
I have developed a curriculum for training in restorative justice dialogues, victim-offender conferencing, circle-keeping, and Circles of Support and Accountability.
