Discovering Forgiveness

The first of 6 Relational and Restorative Practice seminars took place today at Oasis Portsmouth on “Discovering Forgiveness” – the presentation sparked much discussion among delegates and was based on the outcomes of a project between Pushing Change and Dr Aaron Pycroft from University of Portsmouth School of Criminology and Criminal Justice which has co-produced generative principles based on understanding and working with forgiveness to enable discovery of the self when addicted to alcohol and other drugs.

The event was organised by the Relational/Restorative Practice Community of Inquiry which is a group of colleagues (pictured above) from Portsmouth Mediation Service, University of Portsmouth and Portsmouth City Council, who share an interest in the theories that help us better understand and draw value from relationships, and how we research and evidence their value and the conditions that support them to thrive. Look out for the next seminar in March!
