Beloved Communities are the result of beloved connections that grow out of individual and collective healing. It can be argued that the opposite is true for fragmented communities: they happen as a result of trauma and disconnection. The trauma of structural racism splinters our city's school communities and negatively affect adult-youth relationships, student success, and wellness.
Trinity@McCormack supports Healing in Beloved Community at the BCLA/ McCormack Middle/High School every day through Restorative Justice Circles. In one school year alone, 85 Circles embraced schoolwide issues, repaired harm, and created spaces for reflection and growth.
Our program now includes a Restorative Justice Circle Keepers Club, led by spirited students, to carry the work forward in a new way. These students are not just learners; they're architects of their community. They're diving into the art of Circles and Restorative Practices and facilitating Circles across the school. It's more than conflict resolution; it’s innovative and informed approaches led by student voice. It's Healing in Beloved Community.
Please consider a year-end gift to support TBC’s work with these students who are taking ownership in spreading healing throughout their school.
