Restorative health refers to a construct applicable for those who have been denied access to resources and support necessary for healthy functioning. In two different studies, marginalized girls were interviewed about their experiences of health and justice. Based on their responses and their lived realities, recommendations for a restorative health approach to address their needs are made. The authors argue that a preventative restorative health model would be more effective than a Restorative Justice model in promoting well-being for these girls.
