Regional Red Deer Restorative Justice Society

The Regional Red Deer Restorative Justice Society promotes healing through restorative practices, facilitating dialogue between those harmed and those who caused harm, fostering accountability, and rebuilding relationships rather than focusing on punishment.

Applied youth restorative conferencing training: readiness, interviewing, agreements &amp; complex harm. 2-day intensive for facilitators. This is a two-day in-person training. Each day runs 10:00 AM &ndash; 5:00 PM. Restorative practice is more than circles and scripts. Effective conferencing depends on preparation, readiness, and the ability to hold accountability without escalating harm. This two-day intensive is designed for professionals working with youth who want practical, structured skills for restorative conferencing. Grounded in RRDRJ&rsquo;s real-world diversion and community practice, this training focuses on applied facilitator competence - not theory alone. Participants will develop skills in: *Conducting structured preparation interviews*Assessing readiness and voluntary participation*Navigating shame, minimization, and defensive responses*Managing power dynamics and complex harm*Facilitating youth restorative conferences with clarity and containment*Building meaningful, measurable repair agreements*Implementing restorative processes within organizational systems This training places strong emphasis on interviewing and readiness - the foundation of safe and effective conferencing. Participants will engage in live demonstrations, structured simulations, and guided practice throughout both days. Who Should Attend:*Restorative justice facilitators*Youth justice and diversion workers*Community agency professionals*School-based support staff*Youth-serving program coordinators*Anyone responsible for facilitating restorative conversations with young people Participants will receive: *Structured readiness and interview tools*Agreement-building templates*Implementation planning framework*Certificate of completion (12 instructional hours) This is not introductory restorative practice theory. It is applied, youth-focused facilitator development grounded in real-world practice.

Restorative Conferencing - Introduction

The GBV Restorative Pathways Facilitator Training from Regional Red Deer Restorative Justice is a&nbsp;four-session, eight-hour online program delivered online over four sessions. It prepares restorative practitioners to facilitate trauma-informed, survivor-centred non-contact restorative pathways with people who have experienced gender-based violence. It is grounded in real tools, built for real practice, and designed for practitioners working across contexts. This program is delivered ONLINE in 4 parts. Please ensure you can attend all four sessions: The training moves in deliberate sequence, from understanding to application, across four two-hour sessions. Session 1: Understanding Gender-Based Violence&nbsp;Practitioners develop a clear, nuanced understanding of what gender-based harm is, how it shows up across different survivor experiences, and why restorative practice is needed alongside &mdash; and sometimes instead of &mdash; other responses. This session covers forms of GBV, the dynamics of power and coercion that underlie it, and how to recognize harm that is often invisible to those not trained to see it. Session 2: Trauma-Informed Practice&nbsp;This session builds the foundational skills every restorative facilitator working in GBV contexts must have. Practitioners learn how trauma lives in the body, what fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and flooding responses look like inside a session, and how to apply the six core trauma-informed principles to their facilitation practice. The session draws a clear and honest line around the facilitator role: what it is, and what it is not. Practitioners leave with a grounding technique toolkit they have practised and can offer naturally. Session 3: The Three Houses Restorative Crossing Model&nbsp;The Three Houses model is RRDRJ&#39;s structured framework for moving survivors from understanding to action through steady, intentional steps. Practitioners learn the House of Strength, the House of Harm, and the House of Restoration, and all seven steps of the crossing process. Using real case scenarios, they practise walking the model and making sequencing decisions: knowing when to begin with strength, when to begin with harm, and why that choice changes everything. Session 4: Non-Contact Pathway Tools and Program Integration&nbsp;The final evening is where everything comes together. Practitioners learn to facilitate all four non-contact pathway tools: journal writing, expressive art, letter writing, and storytelling. They practise choosing the right tool, opening with grounding, using core prompts, monitoring for escalation and drift, and closing sessions in a way that leaves survivors centred. Documentation requirements and follow-up protocols are covered in full.

Some of the people we work with are doing their best with very little, and a shared meal during a hard conversation helps people feel cared for before we even begin. This week, our &quot;Steady Steps&quot; goal is $250 to make sure no one comes to the table hungry.

Steady Steps: Meals

Interviews and conferences are hard conversations. A simple snack and a drink, especially someone&#39;s favourite, helps people feel seen and cared for. When we ask &quot;what&#39;s your favourite snack&quot;, and then follow through, it helps us build trust. And trust is important, especially with kids. This week, our &quot;Steady Steps&quot; goal is $250 to keep our snack cupboard stocked for everyone involved in a file.

Steady Steps: Snacks

Sometimes a youth mentions a book they&#39;ve been wanting to read, or we notice they light up talking about a story. Owning a book of their own, one that&#39;s just theirs, can mean a lot to a kid who hasn&#39;t had much that&#39;s just theirs. And it&#39;s not just for youth, sometimes a parent is looking for a book on supporting their child through trauma, or just wants something to help them understand what their family is going through. This week, our &quot;Steady Steps&quot; goal is $250 to put books directly into the hands of youth and parents alike.
