The following are a set of restorative questions to guide conversations shared by Margaret Thorsborne that have been incorporated in the posters created by artists.

When speaking to someone who has caused harm…

What happened?

What were you thinking at the time?

What have you thought about since?

Who do you think has been affected by what you did? In what way?

What do you need to do to make things right?

How can we make sure this doesn’t happen again?

When speaking to someone who was harmed…

What did you think when it happened?

What have you thought about since?

How have you been affected?

Who else has been affected?

What’s been the hardest part?

What’s needed to make things right?

How can we make sure this doesn’t happen again?

When needing to go deeper…

Was it the right or wrong thing to do?

Was it fair or unfair?

What exactly are you sorry for?

If you had it to do over, what would you do differently?
