To be “made whole” can mean a few different things. It can be restitution, such as receiving money to cover repairs. It may be information from the offender, with answers to questions such as “Why did you choose my house?” It can be an apology, either written or verbal. It could also be service directly for you or at a community service site. A staff person will ask you about what your expectations are from the meeting ahead of time and help you to think about what is possible.
