How Restorative Conferencing Works
Those directly involved and affected by the incident are invited, as well as supporters, and representatives from organizations the parties may find beneficial. A neutral third party facilitates the conference at a convenient location (library, community center, school, Mediation Center, etc.). Parties discuss what occurred, how individuals were affected and work together to define a better path forward.
Benefits & Outcomes
Conferences are an opportunity for responsible parties to take accountability for their actions and a stepping stone to:
- Build healthy communities
- Reduce the impact of harm and crime
- Repair and restore relationships
Over 90% of conferences result in agreements and over 91% of parties are compliant to the agreements
