Our Work–
The RJ Process

Where does Restorative Justice happen?

Restorative justice can be applied in almost any environment. The process encourages accountability, supports healing, and builds relationships. All CVCJ services are voluntary and confidential.

​

For those navigating the criminal legal system, RJ can serve as a diversion from prosecution.

​

We also offer a confidential alternative for resolving harm or conflict within families, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces — particularly for those who don't feel safe involving law enforcement.​

 

Think CVCJ might be a good fit for your situation?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

...[G]oing through the Restorative Justice program was much less intimidating than being in court and even just speaking to the officers. I felt like my voice and story was heard without judgment and with a mutual goal of fixing and restoring the situation for everyone involved. -CVCJ Participant
This process is clearly designed (well) to create a space for each person to learn and grow and reconcile from a traumatic experience. Walking away with more health and wellbeing is centered. -CVCJ Participant
I am in complete awe for everyone in Restorative Justice and the work they are dedicating to the community. This truly offers healing, opportunity to speak your part in open session and there sure are a few lessons in human compassion and forgiveness.  -CVCJ Participant
