7th Step Restorative Justice & Reintegration Society of BC & Yukon

As a trauma-informed non-profit organization, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive space for individuals with lived experiences in the criminal justice system.

Through restorative justice and positive reintegration, personal healing and growth are supported by a sense of community and belonging to prevent recidivism. 

Our approach is rooted in understanding the impact of trauma, ensuring that all our efforts are centered around safety, respect, and the well-being of those we serve.

MISSION

Our purpose is to create a supportive and an inclusive culture for those with lived experience within the criminal justice system. Guided by Indigenous teachings and the use of Seven Steps to Freedom, we facilitate environments of truth, love, honesty, wisdom, courage, respect, and humility, guiding individuals on their path to change and reintegration into society.

VISION

A world where trauma-informed practices and empathy are the norms, fostering understanding and compassion for those navigating conflict with systems of justice. Seeing communities where individuals reclaim their dignity and purpose, supported by cultural values and the strength of their peers.
