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.
