We’re excited to provide our wider community with an opportunity to join us in learning about social and criminal justice innovation today and in the months to come right here on our blog.

Restorative Practices: Innovative Programs in BC
In this session, we discuss the rise of self harm, anxiety and depression experienced by young girls, and about a Shoplifting Prevention Program
Last week, we launched a new initiative that has been in the works for the last few months – our monthly Speaker Series! Building off of the success from our JHS National Conference virtual Speaker Series, the JHS Pacific Speaker Series explores how John Howard Societies, partners, stakeholders, and community members are driving social and criminal justice innovation across Canada through monthly virtual presentations, workshops and seminars.
In our first session, we learned about innovative restorative practices being carried out by two John Howard Societies in BC: JHS Victoria and JHS Okanagan & Kootenay.
