Hawai`i Friends of Restorative Justice (HFRJ) works to help individuals and organizations live cooperatively & peacefully. When social injustice and wrongdoing occurs it provides healing and reconciliation processes. HFRJ provides training for schools, courts, hospitals, prisons, government agencies, NGOs, and others based on a group’s unique needs for peacemaking and conflict management. It researches, writes, and publishes about its projects in order to contribute to best practices and evidence-based knowledge about what can help increase peace, civic engagement, and healing for individuals and communities.
