We are living in a time when people are experiencing various forms of trauma. People are not only seeking answers but clarity on how to navigate in a world full of transition.

Healing work can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, restore balance, support physical healing, and provide peace. There has to be an openness of the person to actively engage in this process. However through the development of an individual self-care or team wellness plan, progress may be made.

Restorative Practices is not a new and has recently been reintroduced as a method of addressing harm. It allows a space for voices to engaged in various platforms. It involves a participatory process that seeks to improve processes, repair harm, and open a path to community healing. Restorative Practices can be seen and experienced in a host of environments such as the criminal legal system, the educational system, faith-based communities, the workplace, and communities in general.

Justice is what we have all be called to do while we are on this earth. We have a responsibility to one another. Addressing inequity, advocating for the oppressed, and serve one another is a part of that call.
