Restorative Approach

Restorative Approach is here to expand access to the restorative justice model, taking it out of the courts and into the community. We offer both conflict and educational services from the restorative lens, a way of working rooted in Indigenous practices that focuses on relationships and our interconnections. We are here to break free from adversarial, winner/loser processes that simply do not help when issues are relational in nature. We are here to say goodbye to one-size-fits-all responses. We offer a good faith process rooted in voluntary participation, so folks can have difficult conversations in good ways to move forward harmoniously. We centre voice and choice so individuals themselves reach outcomes without an external person or body deciding on their behalf. We are: Guiding organizations and individuals through a positive, restorative approach to conflict in working relationships. Supporting organizations and individuals in learning to embody a restorative approach in work and life. Our work supports you in shifting: - From legal liability mindset to taking responsibility and accountability - From conflict in governance to a connected team and community - From risk management to accepting vulnerability within and beyond the organization - From protection and defence to responding compassionately and transparently - From damage control to resolutions that are felt and formalized for all parties - From unhealthy workplace culture to (re)building trust, empathy and compassion For conflict we offer: - Restorative facilitation - Restorative investigation - Restorative response to workplace sexual harassment For education we offer: - Restorative 101 workshop - The KAIROS Blanket Exercise - Tailored workshops - Indigenous sharing circles with Indigenous Elder Billy Lewis If you're interested or curious, book in for a free consultation so we can chat about your situation and what services would best fit your needs.
