Blog | 0 comment | 0

Our Sulah program continues to help meet the needs of people who have experienced harm because of their identity.

Waterloo Region Home Share: A shared approach to housing

Blog | 0 comment | 0

Pressure to address the affordable housing crisis in Ontario has only continued to build in our current pandemic context.

The vision of Community Justice Initiatives’ Caregiver Teen Services is to work alongside caregivers and teens to create conditions that support lasting behaviour change in the ways caregivers and teens interact when conflict arises.

Blog | 0 comment | 0

“The Sulah program holds us all accountable to each other: that we have to consider our own upbringings, influences, decisions, and positions of power.

It’s Time for a Restorative Worldview

Blog | 1 comment | 0

While we are thankful that the Derek Chauvin verdict has diffused some tensions, celebrating this outcome presents a significant dilemma for advocates and practitioners of Restorative Justice. The criminal justice system employed to produce “justice,” with punishment as its primary value, is at odds with a restorative world view and cannot produce a true andRead more

Blog | 0 comment | 0

If you missed Part 1 of “6 Ways to Respond to Conflict”, click here. As we established in our previous post, conflicts are bound to happen even in the best of circumstances.

Blog | 0 comment | 0
