Biographical Info
Taranaki Restorative Justice Trust works with victims and offenders referred by the Court, facilitating meetings to address harm and support positive outcomes for the future.
At the core of our process is being responsive to the needs of our participants. Our team work to guide, support and prepare participants for a potential conference. A conference is a guided, safe and voluntary meeting between those who have been harmed and those who have caused harm. Our team will prepare you for this meeting and work to ensure that what happens is safe, appropriate, and responsive to the needs of all participants.
· We facilitate a process where those who have been harmed can express their voice and seek to have any questions answered
· Create an environment where all parties get a chance to speak, the future is explored, and agreements can be reached
· Help connect people to a range of support systems
· Assist with follow-up arrangements as necessary
Where? All of Taranaki
Who? Those 18 years and older and referred via the Court
Support is offered online, via phone, and in-person at different locations.
