Healing Circles - Preview #2
"Healing Circles" extracted from "Diversion & Transformation". (http://www.triune.ca/index.php/home/1...) It presents a model which is adaptable to the needs of distinct communities and has been used already by many diverse groups in North America.
Anti-bullying experts stress that current responses to bullying need to place more attention on parental involvement and family interventions in order to be effective. A "healing circle" addresses that need; it is a transformative process involving all those affected by an incident - stakeholders include both victims and offenders, their peers, parents and the community.
