Restorative Justice and Systems Change

Just Outcomes consultancy has had the opportunity to engage in multiple systems-change processes focused on implementing restorative justice values and principles within a variety of institutional and community settings. Join us in an exploration of our missteps, what has been learned, and the considerations that now frame our systems-change work. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss how these considerations and lessons learned might apply to their contexts.
