Forgivenserves

Forgivenserves is a digital platform designed to facilitate restorative justice practices. It aims to provide a structured and accessible online environment for individuals and communities to engage in processes of reconciliation and repair after harm has occurred. The platform typically supports various stages of restorative justice, which may include victim-offender mediation, community conferencing, and circle processes.

The core functionality of forgivenserves often involves connecting parties involved in a conflict or wrongdoing. It can offer tools for communication, scheduling, and documenting agreements reached during restorative justice sessions. The emphasis is on creating a safe space for dialogue, accountability, and healing, moving beyond punitive measures to address the needs of those affected and to foster understanding and empathy.

The principles underpinning forgivenserves align with the broader restorative justice movement. This includes acknowledging the harm done, giving victims a voice, holding offenders accountable in a meaningful way, and involving the community in the resolution process. The platform seeks to leverage technology to make these principles more widely applicable and to support practitioners and participants in achieving positive outcomes. Its development and implementation are often driven by a desire to promote a more just and compassionate society.
