“The next TRCC group sessions will be held on Wednesdays from the 26th of August to the 7th of October, from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. These sessions will be led by Lead Facilitator assisted by two Assistant Facilitators, all of whom are trained in Restorative Practices under the auspices of the International Institute for Restorative Practices www.iirp.edu.

“The weekly commitment is important in creating relationships, which in turn fosters trust and helps build community. It empowers participants to share stories and think creatively about how positive societal change can be achieved. The group meets in a circle format thus able to interact and fully participate with each other. Each week has a subject matter and the facilitators will provide a summation of the goals each session. Educational materials are provided along with links to short film clips. Below are the titles of each session:
- Community Building
- Why do we need to Heal?
- What Happened?
- Who Tells the Story?
- Checking my Privilege
