Restorative Justice and Trauma Resilience
Restorative Justice
Marie-Isabelle's trainings have been absolutely incredible. 
Her work was instrumental in helping 
  • our workplace to develop safety protocols that align with our organizational values, 
  • our community to develop necessary tools for engaging in restorative justice (within our specific context), 
  • and most unexpectedly, helping me to begin to implement restorative justice practices and thinking within my own everyday life. 
Her trainings were thorough. I understood what we were covering and why. The topics were very relevant to our specific workplace context and circumstances so everything was actionable. The sessions were deeply grounded in the Restorative Justice framework... which made me leave feeling like I could apply  the framework beyond the acute scenarios and circumstances  we discussed. 

I have been truly shocked by how frequently I reference her teaching in daily discussion with my partner, my friends, and my colleagues. What an amazing resource! - Devin
