ABOUT
Life anew
Since 2009, our 501c3 Non-Profit Organization has continuously executed many diverse paths to serve our community by creating a space for individuals and families to experience real and lasting positive life changes. We have effectively trained professionals and community leaders to actively participate in a process that will heal harms and protect victims of family violence, which includes the intimate partner, children, the elderly and the communities they live in by using restorative justice methods.
​
As of 2014, we have been given an opportunity to bring the Restorative Practices into our local community schools! Life Anew employs Restorative Practices Coordinators to train school staff, students, parents and community volunteers to engage one another in intentional conversations that lead to deep, meaningful relationships that result in life transformation.
We can only achieve this goal with the assistance of generous contributions from partners such as businesses, community leaders, churches, organizations and schools.
​
In 2022, Life Anew partnered with local non-profits and the Office of Violence Prevention to establish a Community, School Safety Violence Iprogram named ATX Peace. This joint venture has been impactful in reducing gun violence and retaliation within Travis County and surrounding areas. Additionally, it has had a profound impact on those who have been victims of gun violence. With our national footprint, Life Anew is creating an ecosystem approach that can be replicated throughout the region.
​
Without the support of donations to provide operational funds, serving those in our area would not be possible. We ask you to consider a donation to fulfill the mission to use restorative justice to build healthier communities, promote peace and create a space to heal from harm caused by broken relationships.
Partners like you are the key to our success and make it possible for Life Anew, Inc. to provide critical services to local schools and families in need, as well as hire additional staff, train school administrators and provide our services for more communities. No gift is too large or too small.
​
We sincerely thank you for your time and consideration,
Sherwynn and Kim Patton, Executive Director
