Restorative Practice & Outpatient Group Therapy
Our Restorative Practice & Outpatient Group Therapy program helps youth take meaningful steps toward healing and accountability. Under the guidance of clinical professionals, participants engage in restorative circle group meetings that provide a safe space to share experiences, process emotions, and resolve conflict constructively. These sessions encourage youth to reflect on their actions, understand their impact on others, and practice empathy and responsibility in real time.
The group therapy model also supports the development of essential life skills such as healthy communication, emotional regulation, and peer support. By combining restorative practices with clinically informed group work, we create an environment where trust can be rebuilt, relationships can heal, and youth feel empowered to grow within a caring, respectful community.
Some ways we might help such youth include:
- Structured Restorative Circle Group Sessions with Clinical Facilitation
- Conflict Resolution Circles for Repairing Harm and Rebuilding Trust
- Guided Accountability Conferences Involving Impacted Parties
- Behavior Reflection Journals and Therapeutic Processing
- Development of Community Agreements and Shared Group Norms
- Daily Emotional Check-Ins and Check-Outs for Self-Regulation
- Peer-Led Mediation to Support Healthy Conflict Resolution
- Restorative Planning Following Behavioral Incidents
- Youth-Led Circles Emphasizing Empathy, Healing, and Growth
- Relationship Repair Dialogues with Staff, Peers, or Family Members
