Our mission: To collaborate with people and communities impacted by Domestic Violence using a Restorative Justice framework. To create and offer opportunities for education and self-exploration to end Cycles of Violence.

Our vision: Working towards a world where people and communities experiencing Domestic Violence are equipped to prevent and end cycles of violence and to pursue meaningful justice opportunities for healing.

We value accountability, innovation, and accessibility. We believe that conflict and harm in our closest relationships need to be addressed, which can be difficult for some. Everyone has the right to safety in their relationships with others.

Are We Right For You?

  • You are confused about why someone close to you is treating you they way they are

    .

    If you have been telling someone close to you that you are hurt by their actions, they've told you they would change, and they haven't.

    .

  • You work a stressful job (or experiencing other high stress circumstance) and you are recognizing changes in your relationships

    .

    If you're noticing added stress in your relationships and challenges with reconciling or making the necessary changes for a happier relationship.

    .

  • You've been told your relationship is abusive, manipulative, or violent

    .

    If you've found yourself researching concerning behaviours in your relationships, worrying about telling others what you are experiencing, and unsure what more else you can do?

    .

  • What is restorative justice?

    .

    Restorative justice refers to an approach for justice that seeks to repair harm by providing an opportunity for those harmed and those who take responsibility for the harm to communicate about and address their needs.

    .

  • Why use restorative justice with domestic harm?

    .

    Restorative justice is used in cases of domestic violence because true healing and safety come from community accountability - recognizing that ending harm in relationships requires connection, responsibility, and collective commitment to change.

    .

  • How do we reimangine justice?

    .

    Justice looks different for everyone - each participant is given a voice in determining what justice means to them. Individualizing what the families need, we foster successful transformation to reduce, or even end harm.

    .

  • Fostering Voice and Choice

    .

    Justice means moving past the passive sentencing of traditional courts. We believe in active participation in healing and how to best move forward.
