Shared Roots Mediation
Shared Roots Mediation is a dispute resolution practice that applies the principles and processes of restorative justice to address sexual harm and help bring healing, accountability, and community to survivors.
Sexual harm can cut a person off from their roots and their community. The criminal legal system continues to sever these roots and discourages accountability, apology, community, and connection. Restorative justice can help meet needs for persons who have experienced sexual harm. At Shared Roots, we seek to connect survivors to a healing community that will help them strengthen or grow new roots that promote resilience and connection.
Our Services & Programs
All of our services at Shared Roots begin with survivor support and engagement, centering the persons who have experienced sexual harm in our trauma-informed care. Starting with an initial intake and ongoing consultations, survivors can share their story on their own terms and be heard in a non-judgmental space
Survivor Engagement & Support
Educational Training
Education is a cornerstone of our mission. We offer education, training, and consulting to help teams, organizations, and communities integrate restorative practices into their spaces and services whether they are seeking to prioritize prevention and a culture of respect and safety or grappling with their own sexual harm incidents.
