Space for Change
An alternative option for addressing the harm caused by domestic violence.
Based on restorative justice, Space for Change is a collaborative program between Walnut Avenue and the Conflict Resolution Center of Santa Cruz County that aims to provide a consent-based option for people who have caused harm to receive support in making safer, healthier choices in their relationship for long-term well-being.
Participation is free, voluntary, and does not require participation in the legal system.
