Restorative Justice and Mental Health
Being involved in a crime can have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. Some people find it beneficial to talk about the incident with the person who harmed them, or who they harmed.
How Do Restorative Justice Referrals Work?
There are a variety of ways that victims and offenders can be referred to Restorative Solutions. It’s important to note that as Restorative Justice is voluntary, both parties have to agree to participate for the process to go ahead.
A Fresh Start
Welcoming in the new year is often when we look ahead and plan for the future, but it can sometimes be just as valuable to use this time to reflect on the past. The beginning of a new year is the opportunity for a fresh start, and to address things that are weighing on our minds.
Use of Restorative Justice in non-recent cases
Whilst some people want Restorative Justice almost immediately after the offence has happened, others begin the process years down the line.
