Our Expertise

Nehemiah Trinity Rising is a faith-based restorative justice consultancy. We were birthed out of a recognition that Restorative Justice was a critical component in reducing school suspensions and expulsions, and thus an important instrument in ending the School to Prison Pipeline. Our path has taken us from our start as a ministry to our reformation as a not-for-profit, focused on the development and delivery of RJ training and other conflict resolution strategies.
 
Within our team resides a wide variety of skills in both training development and delivery. In addition, we partner with a select group of RJ practitioners to enhance and supplement solution delivery. Our menu of Peacemaking Workshops are listed below:
Conflict Transformation: Introduction and Skill 
Building (1 Day)

The workshop provides insight and skills for preventing, and if necessary, addressing interpersonal conflict. This workshop is recommended as a pre-requisite to any of the restorative justice two or four day trainings below.  We recommended that an organizations full staff receive this training.  It includes a circle experience and workshop on restorative conversations, and concludes with an introduction to the various restorative justice practices.
