Scenario

When restorative justice fails the person harmed

Our healing circle process worked for the person who caused harm but the victim is still struggling and no one knows how to support them without making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Traditional healing processes sometimes center the person who caused harm while inadequately addressing the ongoing needs of those who were hurt.
