David spent over 30 years in the healthcare system, serving as a nurse and manager, and accumulating over fifteen years of specific expertise in mental health and addiction. His encounter with restorative justice solidified his conviction that everyone possesses the capacity for change, and that sometimes, individuals are simply unprepared to meet life's demands. He considers the restorative justice program to be an essential means of providing participants with the resources necessary for positive growth, fostered by the realizations that emerge during the workshops. Being a direct observer of these profound changes is precisely where David finds the energy and motivation to persist in this incredibly rewarding undertaking.
