A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Our agency worked with a mother and daughter where the daughter had assaulted her mother. We worked with each of them separately a couple times, and after meeting with each party individually in two separate sessions we were able to bring the mother and daughter together for the restorative justice conference. The daughter acknowledged her responsibility in the incident. A sincere apology was offered by the daughter, and the mother accepted the apology. The mother and daughter then talked about house rules, phone usage, the daughter’s relationship with her boyfriend and various other issues that have caused disagreements. The daughter and the mother agreed on boundaries and consequences. The discussion at times was very emotional but with the guidance of the mediators, it stayed constructive and forward focused.
