Restorative practices & community health and well being

“Community health uses public health science and evidence-based strategies to optimize the health and well-being of all persons who live, work or are otherwise active in a defined community (Goodman, Bunnell & Posner, 2014). Distinctive features of community health include community member engagement and multi-sector collaboration. Individuals, groups and organizations work together to address health issues by taking into account the social and cultural factors relevant to the community.” International Institute of Restorative Practices (IIRP)
