Update:

As you are aware, Governor Northam has recently declared a state of emergency.  As a part of this declaration, we have been directed to cancel large meetings and events for at least the next 30 days.  This means that we will need to postpone the March 19, 2020 and April 9, 2020 training on “Healing the Harm: Restorative Justice Practices”.  We plan to reschedule it when the current emergency subsides.

Thank you so much for your patience, as we ensure the health and safety of our participants, staff, and our presenters.

Description of Training:

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to announce that registration is now open for “Healing the Harm: Restorative Justice Practices.” What is Restorative Justice? How does it work and who benefits? This training will answer these questions and more. Using comparisions with the criminal justice system, the presenter will highlight the restorative justice focus on people rather than laws, share success stories and data to support its effectiveness, and outline the range of restorative practices available to support both the harmed parties and those who cause harm to others. There will be a discussion on how the Harrisonburg Restorative Justice Coalition got started, and the work it is doing in the city. Participants will have the opportunity to explore ways in which they can build coalitions to develop restorative practices in their own communities.
