Conflict Management and Support Services
Like any large city, crime and injustice have become part of our daily existence here in the Greater Edmonton Area, home to almost one million residents.

Building Safer Ground – A Restorative Process
MRJC’s Building Safer Ground process may be an option, other than, or in addition to the criminal justice program, when abuse occurs within a family. We can help your family to dialogue about these sensitive issues.
Restorative Dialogue is a different way of perceiving and approaching crime and punishment. It is a process where a person who has been harmed (victim) and the person responsible (offender), agree to meet in a safe and controlled environment with trained Restorative Justice Facilitators.
