Restorative Justice Training

Restorative Justice Training

Practical Skills for Facilitating Dialogue, Accountability, Repair & Meaningful Change Restorative Justice Training is a comprehensive professional development program designed to provide participants with the knowledge, practical skills, and tools needed to understand and facilitate restorative justice processes in a variety of settings. Restorative justice focuses on addressing harm, encouraging meaningful accountability, giving affected individuals a voice, and creating opportunities for repair and healing. Rather than focusing solely on punishment, restorative practices bring people together to better understand what happened, who was affected, what is needed, and what actions may help repair the harm. Throughout this seven-lesson training, participants move from the foundations of restorative justice into the practical application of restorative processes. The program explores case preparation, participant readiness, restorative dialogue, active listening, facilitator communication, victim-offender mediation, trauma-informed practice, safety, power imbalances, cultural sensitivity, agreement development, follow-up, and professional implementation. Participants will also examine how restorative justice can be adapted for use in schools, workplaces, families, communities, juvenile and justice-related programs, mediation settings, and other organizations seeking constructive approaches to conflict and harm. This is not simply a course about restorative justice theory. Participants will work through case studies, role-play scenarios, practical exercises, facilitator questions, sample dialogues, agreements, checklists, and real-world situations designed to strengthen their ability to respond thoughtfully and effectively when facilitating difficult conversations. What You Will Learn By the completion of this training, participants will be prepared to: Understand the principles, values, and purpose of restorative justice.
