What are the basics of restorative practices and how can I use them for myself and others in real life?

Explanation:

"Restorative" as the word implies refers to the ways in which something can be brought back to its former condition.

Restorative practices are plans and approaches that promote community, repair and build relationships that have been damaged, prevent and manage conflict.

There are a wide range of approaches to restorative practices but the basic practice involves bringing about a feeling of remorse and forgiveness on the part of the offender and victim respectively.

This has applications in real life amongst individuals because we are all humans and we make mistakes.

Offenders should always reflect on their actions, be regretful and seek forgiveness from their victims. This practice helps repair relationships and promote peace and respect.
