Our Dedications

Arkansas Restorative Initiative

Mending Our Mistakes would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Arkansas Restorative Initiative for their encouragement and support during our early stages of development. Through their commitment to restorative practices and community healing, they have helped foster important conversations about how Arkansas can move beyond punitive systems toward solutions rooted in accountability, dignity, and restoration. We are grateful for the ways they have amplified our work and encouraged innovative thinking as we seek to strengthen families across our state.

We are especially grateful for the encouragement and amplification provided by Celina Hale and Arkansas Restorative Initiative during MOM's formative stages. Their willingness to share our vision with others reminded us that collaboration, not competition, is what creates lasting change.

Thank you for using your voice to help others discover ours.

The Butterfly Experience

Mending Our Mistakes is deeply grateful to The Butterfly Experience for their commitment to helping individuals and families heal from the effects of trauma. Their work has reinforced our belief that lasting change requires more than compliance. It requires compassion, safety, education, and opportunities to rebuild. The Butterfly Experience has helped shape our understanding of trauma-informed restoration and the importance of meeting people where they are as they move toward stability and reconnection.

A Note of Gratitude to Katherine Woodworth

We extend special appreciation to Katherine Woodworth for her encouragement, insight, and willingness to share her knowledge. Her dedication to helping others transform pain into purpose has been a meaningful source of inspiration as MOM has grown from an idea into a developing organization. We are grateful for the example she sets through her service to others and for the reminder that healing is possible, even after life's deepest wounds.
