Facilitated Dialogue is a personalized process for individuals, families and community groups (e.g. faith communities, neighbourhood groups) impacted by sexual trauma. For example, a dialogue can include a survivor of sexual trauma, the person who harmed them, as well as others affected by the abuse, like siblings, parents, close friends and partners.
Facilitated Dialogue
I am profoundly grateful for CJI’s Revive program. When my daughter disclosed her abuse, I had no idea what to do. I wanted something restorative but also safe. I wanted sensitivity without approving of the harm. I wanted a trauma-informed restorative approach, which I didn’t think existed! [Staff]’s combined expertise in survivorship, sexual offending, and restorative justice created a safe harbour for us to have the most difficult conversation in our family’s history. Thank You.
