You are welcome to fill out this form and a member of our team will reach out to you within two weeks to schedule an intake meeting and discuss how a Restorative process might be able to support you.

Participation in any RP process is voluntary. That said, there are options for moving forward if not all parties agree to participate.

If the case is a walk-in and one of the parties involved does not want to participate, there are options for individual coaching work with either party who is interested. For example, individual accountability coaching or Circle of Support & Accountability (COSAs) with the person who caused harm or conflict coaching, a listening or healing circle for the harmed party

An important note: if the original referral came through the CSA or Title IX offices and an individual declines to participate in the RP process it will likely return to an investigatory process. As the harmed party, you have the right to not move forward with an investigation if you so choose.

Included in your notice letter will be the contact information for an RP@P staff person and a date by which you should contact them. Once getting in touch with that RP staff member, you will schedule an initial intake meeting during which you will learn more about RP@P and we will ask questions about your experience to asses how a Restorative process can best support you. 

RP@P is able to work with anyone affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania including: students, staff, faculty and post-docs. 

If you are interested in exploring a process with a non-Penn affiliated community member, we may still able to support in specific situations. You are welcome to request a consultation to talk with us more about if we are able to facilitate a process for you in this situation or to refer you to community based resources. 

When you have an experience of harm, either by causing it or experiencing it directly, it can be challenging to decide what the best path forward can be to support your own healing. Engaging in a Restorative Process is just one of those options and has to feel right to you in that moment. To discuss more if a Restorative Process is a good fit for you at this time, please reach out to request a consultation and you can meet with a member of our team to see what is the best option for you.

It can feel difficult when a process doesn't reach an agreement or a final conference. At the same time, it is important to note that the time spent preparing for and reflecting on the incident of harm and the needs that arise from it often serves the goals of healing and accountability even in its own right.

Success and failure when processing, healing from, and repairing from harm can look a lot of different ways. We know that not reaching the conclusion you were hoping can be disappointing and we believe that there is still great value in the work done to that point. One person's healing is not contingent on another person's accountability, even as though they can support one another.
