226. Why We Need Restorative Justice with guest Leah Brown

When someone is harmed, whether by an individual or a system, the harm is often holistic - meaning the effect of the harm is not contained to one area of that person's life. That said, it makes perfect sense that the justice and healing be holistic as well. But what does that look like? How is that put into practice? It starts with a new understanding of justice and a new type of justice system - one that is empathetic rather than punitive. That's where today's guest, Leah Brown, comes in. Tune into our conversation to hear more about restorative justice and how it can be utilized by individuals, organizations, systems, and societies.

Leah Brown, a lawyer and accredited mediator, is the founder of The WayFinders Group, a change management consultancy, where she helps organizations navigate high-stakes transitions and institutional crises through restorative approaches. She's also the host of The Longest Day Podcast and the new podcast, Address the Harm.
