Restorative justice is a community based and trauma informed practice used to build relationships, strengthen communities, encourage accountability, repair harm, and restore relationships when wrongdoings occur.
As an intervention following wrongdoing, restorative justice works with both the people who have caused harm and the victim(s) and community members impacted. Working with a restorative justice facilitator, participants identify harms, needs and obligations, then make a plan to repair the harm and put things as right as possible.
Resolve offers the following ongoing partnerships or one-time interventions for schools, juvenile justice, youth corrections, law enforcement, fire districts, victim services, businesses and other community stakeholders.

Consultation and Coaching: support for systems and culture change, organization-wide implementation, and case supervision
Other Services: accountability and skill-building classes, outreach and support for victims of crime, and facilitation of restorative justice processes
