Transforming Our World Through Restorative Justice
Come discover the history, practices and principles of the Restorative Justice (RJ) Movement. We will explore how this powerfully effective approach that can help connect people, resolve conflicts and heal wounded social relationships is being implemented in schools and communities, as well as how RJ practices and principles are vulnerable to being co-opted when used without the highest integrity. With: Teiahsha Bankhead, MSW, Ph.D., Executive Director of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY); Randy Compton, President and co-founder of Restorative Solutions, Inc.
