"The principles found in Restorative Practices (RP) are by far the best and most effective way in dealing with problems that arise from conflict. RP consists of giving the person harmed the voice to express their pain and what trauma was caused, while, at the same time, holding the offender responsible for causing harm and given the chance to make amends and remain in community with all people involved. RP works to keep everyone within the community safe and in continuing relationships. The bottom line, RP, is all about restoring and building relationships."
