Talk at Bolton Rotary Club. My story for them was about some faults in our justice system surrounding those effected by mental health issues, and how these faults could be corrected using alternative forms of justice and care. #Restorativejustice #keynotespeech, #alternativejustice, #mentalhealth

Smiling at my own opener. My blind therapist joke.

The accuser in this case had asked for Restorative Justice to be used, rather than the trial that the accused received. There would have been no convictions going that route also. If her request had been granted, likely all involved would have benefited from deeper understanding and healing.

As Hockey Canada trial resumes, survivors push Ontario to end ‘paternalistic’ ban on restorative justice for sex assault.

“It’s just so paternalistic and so inhumane to force survivors into a process they don’t want to go through."

“It’s just so paternalistic and so inhumane to force survivors into a process they don’t want to go through,” said sex assault survivor Marlee Liss. “That’s the opposite of consent.”

Ben Fulton takes an approach that engages with the various forms of diversion. If you are facing criminal charges this is the first thing to consider. Diversion is not always possible, but the benefits make it worth investigating. #ADR #criminallaw #legal #GTA #Ontario
