"Witnessing the impact of Restorative Practices continues to be a humbling experience. When embraced within a community or school campus, individuals learn principles of accountability and empathy, and develop skills to build, maintain, and repair relationships after harm has been done. The shift that occurs when we learn how to truly connect and restore relationships lends to positive behavioral changes, strengthened communities, and an environment of support, respect and improved learning."
