Brad Deveau uses restorative justice processes to facilitate conversations, build relationships, and repair trust. Part of his role is supporting students as they navigate concerns impacting their ability to succeed during their time at UNBC. This includes students who may be in distress or experiencing crisis.

Brad collaborates with students to explore their challenges and potential options for moving forward. This can be done in many ways; examples include providing a space to debrief, determining which supports might be needed to ensure overall well-being, connecting a student with helpful resources across campus, and acting as a liaison between members of the UNBC community.

Additionally, Brad's role assists those navigating non-academic misconduct, which includes those who caused harm and those who have experienced harm. This means meeting with individuals and offering a confidential, judgment-free space for sharing experiences. This often involves providing information on UNBC policies and procedures so those impacted can decide how to proceed.
