Restorative Justice Services
CDR has decades of experience with youth and adult restorative justice.
Restorative justice guides people who commit harms to take a full and active form of accountability. At the same time, it takes seriously the needs of victims and their right to have a strong voice in how the harm is repaired. Schools, courts, and workplaces are increasingly training their teams in these values and tools.
Schools
CDR supports the growing movement in education for more holistic, equitable, relationship-based discipline structures. We assist educators and administrators in cultivating meaningful, growth-oriented accountability in their schools through professional development trainings, sustained coaching of specific school personnel, systems consultation, and facilitation of restorative discipline dialogues.
Criminal Justice
In partnership with the Office of the Lane County District Attorney, CDR runs a Restorative Justice Diversion Program. Defendants who plead into this program go through a series of dialogues to collaboratively explore what full accountability means for their situation, where the impacts have been, and what can be done towards making things right. This program has an excellent track record of diverting individuals away from sentencing and toward meaningful community integration.
Community
Residents of Lane County may initiate a case with CDR for a Restorative process to address a specific harm. Our trained, experienced facilitators conduct individual meetings with the person harmed and the person or people who caused the harm. We uncover impacts and needs, and determine whether to convene a dialogue between the parties. These cases have some resemblance to mediations, but the goals are authentic rebalancing of relationships, humanizing the “other,” and seeking to address real impacts.

The Friendly Clinic

What is the Friendly Clinic?
In this 2 hour advanced “Clinic,” session, Barbara Daté will respond to your live questions, examples, queries, case examples, etc.
She will provide concrete coaching to your specific situation, (either your own Style Profile or the “other” person’s puzzling or challenging behaviors). Any context you have questions about will be accepted (home, extended family, work, school, community, faith community, your own self management, etc.) After some sessions we will add in exploring and editing your “Personal Style Profile Analysis” (PSPA) for anyone who asks for input. These “Clinic” sessions may feel more like a collegial consultation. (Registrants may also listen in and learn without sharing individual examples or questions.)
Note:
Barbara will offer this “Clinic” probably once every couple of weeks and one can register for it numerous times.
Prerequisite:
You must have already taken Barbara’s (or any other 8-hour Friendly Style Profile workshop) in the last 25 years. When you register, you will be asked for information from you previous Friendly Style Profile training, which will be the city and state where you took the Friendly Style Profile training, as well as your 8 profile numbers.
