restorative program definition

restorative program means a restorative justice program, healing circle or other program designed to promote the excluded person’s safe reintegration into their community, whether rooted in Huu-ay-aht’s traditional laws or otherwise.
restorative program means a program that shifts the focus away from penalizing personal behaviors and choices, for example related to substance use, to evidence-based practices that support making better and health-centered decisions rooted in behavior change and student development theory, to improve student well-being, reduce negative consequences, and increase student engagement.
