PRACTICE

Our staff and volunteers work hard to provide you with a plethora of opportunities to experience Restorative Practices. Whether you're brand new to this whole "Restorative" thing, went to a training and want to continue skill-building, or are an experienced practitioner looking to get connected to a community of other practitioners, you are welcome! Remember, this is Restorative Practice, not Restorative Perfect! We're all practicing and building our Restorative muscles here.

Thursday Practice

Therapy Session

We host weekly practice opportunities at ECRJC. Our goal is that a Restorative Response becomes the instinctual response, not the punitive responses that permeate our society today. To do that, we need to practice!

First Thursday: Values Circle

Volunteers Erricka Willard and Dayna Overton-Burns co-facilitate a community building circle on values the first Thursday of the month. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and process our daily lives or current events in a restorative, supportive environment. 

Time: 5:30-7pm

Location: 567 Hertel Ave

Second Thursday: Relationship Building Circle

Community and relationship building are the heart of Restorative Practices, so Social Work Intern Anthony Laureano hosts another community building circle on the second Thursday of the month. 

Time: 5:30-7pm

Location: 567 Hertel Ave

Third Thursday: Youth Circle

The third Thursday of the month is all about youth. Youth Coordinators Charis Humphrey and Jamien Eutsey  chooses topics that are all youth focused. All are welcome to attend!

Time: 5:30-7pm

Location: Zoom

Fourth Thursday: Conferencing Roleplay

Director of Operations Marie Moy runs a Restorative Conference Role Play on the fourth Thursday of the month. Come practice faciitating a Restorative Conference (or help by putting your acting hat on and playing the role of a participant!). Please register in advance so Marie can pick a scenario that fits the group size.

Time: 5:30-7pm

Location: 567 Hertel Ave
