Restorative Justice

In Restorative Justice violations of law or community norms are seen as harm done to the victim, community, and the offender. The offender has an obligation to restore the victim and the community to well-being and balance. Restorative Justice uses a process that helps the offender make amends and repair harm by including the offender, victims and community members as participants. 

Youth Diversion Programs

Teen Justice Panels

 

We use trained volunteers to facilitate processes that divert youth from the Juvenile Justice system by offering a problem-solving, restorative solution that includes accountability, community engagement, and building life skills.

​

 

Siletz Peacemaking Circles

​

These Restorative Justice circle processes divert youth from the juvenile justice system and are similar to Teen Justice Panels but are culturally appropriate and facilitated by Siletz community members.  

Restorative Practices in School

We use the core principles of  Restorative Justice to provide training and facilitation of processes in school. They address such issues as truancy, suspension/expulsion, bullying, drug abuse, and disruptive behavior.

 

Some of these Restorative Practices include:

Community Building Circles  Accountability Circles  Peer Mediation  Developing a Peaceful Classroom Culture                                                                                Communication Skills
