Restorative Response Resources
Guide for Grieving Families – The guide is a booklet for new survivors, created for use immediately following a tragic event. Provided to local law enforcement and first responders as a tool to support survivors.
Talking Circles – Provided quarterly in sessions of 6 weeks of Circles. Survivor outreach volunteers provide space for uninterrupted listening, storytelling and a pathway to healing.
Presentations/Workshops/Circles – SCVRJP will provide training and information on trauma, survivors, healing responses and providing support. Circles can be held for groups or families that need to process the experience in a safe place. For example a sports team, social club, teachers, classroom, coworkers and group that will now be missing a member.

Participant feedback
The openness of sharing by participants and the supportive acceptance of other participants.
The calmness and equality of the group-everyone was given equal time to speak and contribute to the group
The atmosphere of comfort and non-judgmental. It was easier than I thought to express intimate details
Why have I not heard of these circles before now? I have been through a lot of therapy and other support groups. Nothing can come close to feelings that were evoked after each circle group. This is truly where soul enhancement is at!
Thank you for addressing this important topic.
