There is a Difference

What Makes Restorative Justice Different

Restorative justice meetings may be different from meetings you have attended in the past because they allow the opportunity for:

• Sharing emotions
• Addressing harms and needs in a polite and respectful manner
• Telling your story and listening to others’ stories
• Taking responsibility for your behavior
• Forgiving past harms
• Gaining a deeper understanding of the individuals involved
• Group decision making
• Active listening
• Community engagement
