Youth Restorative Justice with the Seattle Public Library

Nursing Students: Ally Bell, Jacinta Mwilu & Daniel Phan

Nurse Faculty: Ellie Marsh, MN, RN

Our project is titled: “Youth Restorative Justice: Promoting Access and Equity for Youth of Color at the South Park Library by Raising the Awareness of SPL Staff through Evidence – based Digital Infographics Related to Youth Developmental Stages.” We partnered with the South Park library branch in the youth restorative justice project to promote library staff awareness of appropriate correction mechanisms that align to youth developmental stages. Our interventions involved providing two infographics for library staff on tips for engaging school age children ages 6-12 years and teenagers in the 13-18 years age bracket. We also gave feedback on the current code of conduct and some training recommendations for the library staff on implicit bias and cultural humility.
