Turning Point Partners of Louisiana (TPPL) was founded in 2001. Our mission is to develop and to establish restorative, strength-based systems in schools, courts, and communities.
TPPL offers trainings in restorative justice and trauma awareness; methods that foster healing and promote resilience: the ability to rebound from overwhelming events.
Our approach focuses on the talents and gifts of individuals and their families to overcome the high-risk conditions under which they live and it draws upon the inherent power of communities to facilitate systemic change.
TPPL Initiatives:
- Provide training for community leaders and caregivers to help communities that have experienced trauma
- Facilitate alternatives to incarceration for adjudicated youth
- Develop Victim Impact & Reentry programs — including Victim Impact Panels, Victim Offender Conferencing and Reentry Conferencing
- Offer education and training workshops in Restorative Justice, Restorative Discipline, and Mindful/Non-violent communication for the public, justice systems and all levels of educational institutions
- Sponsor Community Building Circles for public and private agencies
- Promote Defense Initiated Victim Outreach
