Matthew Hartman (MA), currently the Co-Founder and Principal with Just Outcomes, has extensive experience with the non-profit, public and for-profit sectors in developing processes, systems, programs and capacity with the goal of aligning service delivery and practice with the stated vision, mission and values of the organizations with which he works. Working across the US and internationally, Matthew accesses a rich background in facilitation, training, restorative justice, conflict transformation, organizational development, consultation, and mediation.
Matthew spent from 2010 to 2017 as the Restorative Justice Coordinator for the Clackamas County Juvenile Department. In this capacity, he coordinated the department’s commitment to further align the department’s practices and programs with restorative justice values and principles. In this capacity, he co-developed a Victim Impact Program which serves victims of juvenile offense through early direct contact, service delivery, and redeveloped the existing Victim-Offender Dialogue Program. In addition to strategic planning, program development, and general support, Matthew also helped to expand and strengthen the capacity of the community to play an active role in responding to juvenile offense through a community-engagement process to re-envision existing diversion programs toward deeper alignment with restorative justice values and principles.
Matthew brings to his work a strong sense of presence and listening combined with skills to move individuals and groups toward their goals. The resulting safety allows individuals to express their feelings, thoughts, and needs which channels collaborative, creative and effective dialogue, planning and problem-solving.
