Episode: Nashville Radio Show: Raphah Institute, using restorative practices in juvenile court cases.
Description: Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Travis Claybrooks, Founder and CEO of Raphah Institute, who shares some of his personal story and what led him to launch the nonprofit based in Nashville, Tennessee, which addresses issues surrounding youth incarceration and victim trauma by using restorative practices in juvenile court cases. Together, all parties talk about the harm caused, its impact, and ways to repair it. Raphah is a Hebrew verb that means to heal. It literally means to mend by stitching, very much like you would repair a torn garment, which is the vision and work or Raphah Institute.Â
