Restorative Conference
A Restorative Conference is a structured meeting designed to address harm caused by a conflict or wrongdoing. It brings together the affected parties, including the victim, the offender, and sometimes community members, to discuss the impact of the incident. The goal is to promote understanding, accountability, and healing rather than punishment.
During the conference, participants share their feelings and perspectives, allowing the offender to understand the consequences of their actions. This process encourages dialogue and collaboration to find a resolution that satisfies everyone involved. Ultimately, a Restorative Conference aims to restore relationships and foster a sense of community.
