Website of the Month: Turning Point Partners

Turning Point Partners is a non-profit organisation with the mission “to develop and establish restorative, strength-based systems in schools, courts and communities.”

 http://www.turningpointpartners.com/

The main page of its website briefly describes the group and its programs geared toward young offenders and their families. 

The Principles and Initiatives page elaborates the organisation’s work of promoting restorative, systematic change in four societal areas:

  • The Courts - Juvenile Court Initiative
  • Correctional Facilities - Victim Impact Program
  • Educational Settings - Resilience Education Initiatives
  • Communities - Community Justice Circles

The Restorative Justice page explains restorative justice philosophy and practices.  It connects to a Resources page that contains general links and a bibliography. 

The main page also has a link to a featured news story in the Louisiana Weekly about Turning Point Partners, as well as some other external links relevant to the organisation. 

The website lists training provided in the areas of:

  • Restorative justice
  • Community Building Circles
  • Resilience education
  • Continuing Legal Education, as approved by the Louisiana Bar Association

A contact link provides an email address for further enquiry.
