Restorative Practices Collaboration
Partnering to Address Harm
The WBBA is a member of the West Bank Restorative Practices Collaboration. This is a collaboration across multiple grassroots organizations to implement restorative practices in addressing harm in the community. Restorative Practices are ones that support community healing, participation in community building and decision making. The goal of these practices are to prevent violence, create empathy for one another and develop a collective, thriving future.
