Sexual harm Restorative Practice Circle for community members

Transforming Justice offers support to anyone in the Hunter Central Coast and New England regions impacted by sexual harm or responding to sexual harm. We offer our support and accept referrals into our programs from within this region.  

We are offering a Community Practice Circle for community members and anyone responding to sexual harm, whether this is part of your work, or through harm that has occurred in your community, family or network.

This Restorative Practice Circle for responders, is part of our "Community based restorative practice project" in the region.

Questions to help your decide if this is the right space for you:

• Do you want to better understand how restorative practices can respond to sexual abuse?
• Would you like a space to reflect on our emotional, physical, relational and spiritual response in this work?
• Would it feel useful to connect with peers to talk about “violence-informed” care?
• Are you interested in learning transformative ways to support one another, while recognising the ongoing impacts of colonisation on our clients, communities and our work?

We have the ability to accept referrals and support community engagement in a specific region. 

What will the circles involve?

This will be an opportunity for anyone, including people working in organisations, services and networks to connect with others responding to sexual harm disclosures or accountability-taking.

Over three sessions, our Restorative Facilitators will guide a circle discussion on emerging contexts in community responses to sexual harm, to structure support, learning and solidarity with others who take on the important work of offering safe spaces for people harmed, people responsible for harm, and their impacted family members.
