Mission

The Los Angeles Institute for Restorative Practices (LAIRP) is a consulting and training institute that equips institutions and community-serving organizations with strength-based, right-brain approaches to navigate human experiences and foster healing. 

Through mindset shifts, emotional intelligence, and mirror work, we help leaders surface challenges, neutralize conflict, and promote growth. Our goal is to nurture safe, equitable, and creative communities while empowering organizations to sustain learning and development for long-term impact that benefits the greater good.

Vision

​​The Los Angeles Institute for Restorative Practices envisions a society where research-driven restorative practices, grounded in behavioral science and social justice, are embraced across all sectors. Through culturally responsive expertise and evidence-based strategies, we guide institutions and communities in consistently practicing and refining approaches to navigating conflict, repairing harm, and fostering relationships. By providing ongoing support and gradually releasing responsibility, we help cultivate environments rooted in equity, healing, and meaningful human connection, empowering organizations to sustain these practices over time.
