We walk with community members — one conversation at a time

Our team supports people preparing for court, families working through separation, and neighbours looking for a restorative path. Every person who comes to us is met with the same care, at no cost, in confidence.

  • Confidential by default

    We ask permission before sharing anything.

  • Support, not advice

    We prepare, explain, and accompany.

  • Community-led

    Grounded in restorative values.

    Common questions

    Answers beforeyou call

    Short, honest answers to the things people ask us most often.

    Still have a question? Call the office or send the appointment form — we will answer in plain language.

    Does it cost anything?
    No. Every part of this program is free for community members — the first conversation, the preparation, the accompaniment, and the follow-up.
    Will you tell my family, my employer, or the court what we talk about?
    Your conversations with us are treated as confidential. We do not share your information without your permission, except in the limited situations where the law requires it — for example, if a child or another person is in danger. If you want to ask about something before telling us your name, you can call and ask first.
    Can you be my lawyer?
    No. We are not lawyers and cannot provide legal representation. We support and guide you through the process. If you need legal advice, we will help you find a lawyer or a legal service, and we can explain what to have ready for that appointment.
    Do I need a referral or a court file number first?
    No. You can contact us directly. If you already have documents — a Promise to Appear, an Appearance Notice, a court file number — bring or describe them and we will work with what you have.
    What happens in a Restorative Justice Circle?
    Everyone involved meets separately with us first, then the circle is held with people who support both sides. Each person gets time to speak without interruption, and the group agrees on what would help repair the harm. Taking part is voluntary, and a circle cannot promise a particular court result.
    I live outside Lytton. Can I still get help?
    Many of the people we support live in Lytton, Ashcroft, Boston Bar, Spences Bridge, and further afield. We often work by phone, and we can point you to services closer to home when that would help more.
    What should I bring to a first appointment?
    Only what you have. A photo ID, any court or agency paperwork, your court dates, and the names of any workers or lawyers involved are enough to get started.
