TRENTON RESTORATIVE STREET TEAM
COMMUNITY-LED FIRST RESPONSE
OUR WORK
Trenton Restorative Street Team (TRST) provides violence prevention and intervention programming through education, advocacy, conflict resolution circles, and proactive community engagement. It also offers immediate support to victims, mediates conflicts, and facilitates restorative justice. TRST is a group of professionally trained community engagement practitioners committed to promoting peace and healing through restorative justice practices and trauma-informed care. We operate in the North and West Wards, connecting with residents through community events, walks, roundtable discussions and forums.

PROMOTING JUSTICE. RESTORING PEACE
We address trauma and advance restorative care and practices including peace circles, community conferences, grief groups, candlelight vigils, survival groups, and victim services. Our objective is to leverage the programs and services we provide to empower residents to move beyond hurt towards hope again. We will do this by offering mental health support, youth mentoring, parenting classes, financial literacy seminars, entrepreneurial empowerment training, home ownership workshops, and more.
