The St. Croix Valley Restorative Justice Program (SCVRJP) of River Falls is offering Restorative Response Circles for those impacted by suicide, traffic death or sudden preventable death.
When someone we love dies, there is loss -- loss that is sudden and preventable has additional trauma. For people who that have experienced this kind of loss, SCVRJP is offering an opportunity for healing.
Participants are welcome --whether the loss was 3 months or 3 decades ago. Remembering loved ones and telling the story of their lives, and the impact of their death has been beneficial to past participants.
Past comments included the feedback that the Circles were “caring, helpful, respectful, supportive and worthwhile”.
Another participant shared what they liked most was “the atmosphere of comfort and non-judgment. It was easier than I thought to express intimate details.”
SCVRJP has been providing Restorative Justice Circles since 2003.
