Origins
Restorative Justice practices finds its roots in Indigenous communities around the world. These processes originated from the belief system that the individual who created harm and the individual harmed – along with the community – should be involved in restoration and healing. We recognize that these original teachings have had a profound impact on the ways we currently engage restorative principles and practices.
