“Bettina Graf is a delight to behold in the realm of Restorative Justice Practices. Her trainings are incredibly helpful, accessible, and possibly life changing. I will forever be grateful. These practices are compassion, equity, and true justice in action. Ms. Graf is an excellent trainer and practitioner. She talks the talk and walks the walk. Every time I work with her I leave wanting more.

“Ms. Graf’s mentorship has impacted my teaching practice in a dramatic way - because of her I am a very different teacher today with more of a focus on building relationships and community. My students are now at the center of everything I do, not my content, and consequently I am seeing more academic success with students than every before as I have shifted towards restorative practices. ”
— Alicia Vosberg, U.S. History Teacher (High School)
“Due to her training and encouragement I am now mentoring other teachers, helping to bring restorative practices campus wide to provide more students and teachers access to restorative practices.”
— Lead Teacher/Social Sciences High School Teacher
“As a school district new to Restorative Practices, Ms. Bettina Graf’s training created the opportunity for our district and school administrators to gain new insight, understanding and experience the incredible power that comes through these practices. I have never in all my 7 years in this district witnessed our administrators more engaged and focused than I did during this time with Ms. Bettina Graf. Bettina is passionate about the content, provided real and relatable examples and exemplified restorative practices as a practitioner. This is exactly what we needed to kick start our journey!”
