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.
Introduction to Restorative Justice
A two hour interactive overview of conflict transformation concepts and restorative justice benefits, practices, usage in particular settings, such as schools, churches, prisons, communities. This is recommended for the full staff of an organization to build awareness and buy-in. It should be followed up shortly thereafter with one of the Introduction to Peace Circles workshops
