National Restorative Justice Week runs from Nov. 16 to 23.

The Canadian Mental Health Association Vernon and District supports restorative justice and advocates on behalf of persons affected and/or involved in conflict. Referrals are received from the RCMP or other referral sources within the Vernon/North Okanagan Detachment area, which includes Vernon, Okanagan Indian Band, Falkland, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Enderby, Coldstream, Lumby and Regional Districts Electoral areas.

What is Restorative Justice?

Restorative Justice is an opportunity to repair the harm caused to a person and/or business to address the impact of wrongdoing. Restorative Justice Services look to discover answers to these and many more questions:

• What has happened?
• How were people affected?
• What can be done to repair the harm?

Participation in restorative justice Services is voluntary.
