Restorative Dialogue Facilitators guide a voluntary process that provides an opportunity for the victim of a crime, the youth who caused harm, and any other impacted individuals to come together in a facilitated conversation. This gives all participants a chance to discuss the experienced harm, and what needs to happen next to make things right.
Training Objectives:
- Learn about the Juvenile Justice System as practiced by Oregon and Clackamas County
- Practice communication skills important for engaging clients and for facilitating restorative justice processes
- Collectively reflect on the values which define justice for victims, youth who caused harm, and communities
- Apply restorative justice values and principles to different crime scenarios
- Reflect on personal strengths, weaknesses, motives, and biases which may help or hinder the ability to be effective facilitators in restorative justice processes
- Examine the facilitator’s role, knowledge, and skills necessary to effectively support victims and youth before and during restorative justice processes
- Learn, engage with, and practice facilitating Restorative Dialogue and Conferencing processes
- Critically assess the role of impartiality in restorative dialogue facilitation
Completion qualifies you to co-facilitate restorative dialogues in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington County programs.
