The Restorative Relations and Student Supports (RR&SS) department embraces opportunities to build and maintain healthy relationships at UNBC. We engage with the community by:

• Liaising with UNBC service departments.
• Partnering with staff, faculty, and students in event planning and development.
• Participating and attending community-building initiatives.
• Hosting meet and greets to learn about other departments while sharing about the RR&SS team.

If you are interested in connecting or would like to partner for an event, reach out to connectu@unbc.ca. 

Here are some examples of our team's efforts to promote justice and equity at UNBC:

• Facilitating restorative justice workshops for staff, faculty, and students.
• Creating campus-wide educational training modules.
• Recognizing points of intersectionality and taking steps to address inequities.
• Coaching and consultation on restorative justice practices and approaches.
• Embedding restorative practices in UNBC policies and procedures.

Restorative practices are always presented as an option. When harm is caused, restorative approaches make space for a collaborative process in which all the parties involved would have the ability to identify needs, explore impacts, and define the next steps towards reparation.
