Project Kinship entered into a partnership with Santa Ana Unified School District to provide Restorative Practice Intervention Services. Restorative Practices are based on the principles of Restorative Justice. The approach and philosophy are complementary to the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports Model (PBIS) in addressing issues of school climate and students' needs. Restorative Practices in school settings are evidence-based and can be used as Tier I, II, and III interventions as well as an alternative to suspension and/or expulsion. Project Kinship works with students 1x1, Restorative Circles (whether a small group or a classroom circle), Mediation, and Family Support. It also offers 3 main programs, including Seeking Safety, Arts& Healing, and Leadership.
