The Many Faces of Restorative Practices
Confidentiality is central to creating a safe space for the people we support—but it also means some might wonder what restorative practices actually look like in action. The truth is, restorative practices can be applied anywhere people are working, living, or simply existing in community. We don’t limit ourselves to a specific type of conflict or harm. Instead, our focus is on this particular way of moving forward—a process rooted in repair, accountability, and connection.
It may not always be visible, but people from all walks of life are increasingly turning away from adversarial responses, and towards restorative pathways for responding to the harm and conflict in their lives. One of the most remarkable aspects of restorative work is its boundless versatility. Over the past year, we’ve been privileged to support people from an astounding range of industries, professions, and communities. It’s a testament to how universal the need for connection and repair truly is.
Here’s just a glimpse of the variety of groups we’ve worked with:
Creative professionals from music and film industries
Scientists and educators
Retail and community service workers
Environmental advocates
Teachers and school communities
Families
Public sector and non-profit staff
First responders
Patients and their families
Healthcare teams
University staff and students
Finance and business professionals
Entrepreneurs from a variety of industries we never would have dreamed of
This incredible diversity is one of the things we love most about what we do. Every group brings its own unique challenges, dynamics, and stories, but the shared commitment to healing and restoration ties them all together.
It’s a humbling reminder that no matter where we work or what roles we play, we are all connected by our humanity—and by our ability to repair, grow, and create something better together.
And for us, there’s no greater privilege than being part of that journey. We can’t wait to see what 2025 will bring.
