Repairing Harm.

We help schools, communities and organizations implement Restorative Practices in order to respond to conflict and improve communication through strengthening relationships and nurturing healthy dialogue.

Grounded in the principles of Restorative Justice, we use Restorative Practices and Community Building Circles to give young people and adults the tools to build meaningful relationships and address the inevitable conflict that happens in any community when it does arise.

Disagreement and conflict are part of life. So how do we address conflict in a way that strengthens our community and expands our empathy? At Pathways to Restorative Communities (P2RC) we see conflict as an opportunity for growth. When we give people the opportunity to share their stories and be heard, it helps to cultivate understanding and allows us to get to the heart of what is needed when harm has occurred.

Through Workshops, Training & Coaching, and Facilitation in Restorative Practices, we serve schools, workplaces, community groups and organizations in Massachusetts and beyond.

I believe that Restorative Practices can build a better, more compassionate society. I am excited to contribute to this effort by using circles and teaching children to listen, be open-minded, share, feel OK to feel vunerable, and feel safe and respected in who they are.
