Restorative Partners, Inc.

Restorative Partners is a non-profit organization that works to transform the lives of those impacted by crime in San Luis Obispo County through healing services and relationships. Our professional staff and an army of volunteers offer programs, services, homes and relationships that empower mind-body-spirit as well as community transformation. We believe that violence is not a solution to any problem, that every person is endowed with a sacred dignity, and all are capable of changing, healing, and being restored. Restorative Partners practices Restorative Justice, an approach to crime/wrongdoing that centers on the harm done, the obligations this harm creates, and justice that involves all stakeholders. We recognize stakeholders as the offending individual(s), victim(s), and community. Restorative Justice acknowledges our interconnection as human beings. We pledge to respect the dignity of all people, overcome violence with love and compassion, accompany and support those affected by crime, and to be instruments of restoration, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Restorative Partners provides services and programs for those in-custody and for those released from the San Luis County Juvenile Hall, Jail, Honor Farm and State Prisons. Our Restorative Justice approach focuses on mind, body, and spiritual transformation, incorporates trauma informed care, addresses responsibility and accountability, and offers accompaniment through reentry mentorship. We also provide clean and sober living homes for men and for women as well as own and operate a home for women who are ready to reunite with their children and move forward with their lives. We also provide outpatient treatment options for those dealing with drug and alcohol addiction. The goal in all our transformative work is to reduce violence and lower recidivism by providing a continuum of care from incarceration through reincorporation to our community.
