Text reads: Community Conferencing A community conference is a voluntary, one-time circle process that includes everyone involved in and affected by an incident, crime, or conflict, and their respective support networks. A trained, invested facilitator brings everyone together to provide a space and structure for people in conflict to have a dialogue with each other. Participants have a chance to heal and learn from the incident, and everyone decides how to be accountable to one another.If the group reaches an agreement that everyone deems fair, and those responsible satisfy the terms of that agreement, the matter will be considered resolved by the referral source (such as a school or Department of Juvenile Services).

Text reads: Conflict Resolution and Responsive Circles Dialogue circles provide communities a process for collective learning and understanding. Participants interact respectfully, communicate authentically, listen deeply, and share their needs as everyone collectively works toward accountability and healing. Conflict resolution circles provide students and adults with ways to communicate and opportunities to develop meaningful connections with one another and typically take place over several sessions.Responsive circles are especially effective with gender-specific groups of students, and with students/individuals who have similar and/or recurring issues. Responsive circle costs operate on a sliding scale depending on organizational or individual budget
