About the Event:

In the aftermath of crime, many victims feel a need to communicate with the offender—to explain the impact of the crime, get answers to questions only the offender can answer, hold the offender directly responsible, or seek restitution and repair. However, the traditional legal system does not typically provide these opportunities.

Restorative justice (RJ) offers victims the possibility to engage in this communication in a way that is safe, supportive, well-prepared, trauma-informed, and victim-centered. The process ensures that all participants are treated with respect and dignity while fostering meaningful dialogue about harm, accountability, and healing.

This noontime workshop, taking place during National Victims of Crime Week, will provide a foundational understanding of restorative justice principles and focus on how RJ can benefit victims.

✅ Who Should Attend?
This session is open to victims of crime, community members, justice professionals, victim service workers, educators, advocates, and anyone interested in learning more about restorative justice.

A session reminder with login details will be emailed to registrants two days before the webinar.
