Alba works based on situations where young people or young adults have fallen into a breach of trust or conflict, with themselves, with their environment or with the social norm. They pay attention to all involved (young people, parents, victims, support figures and the broader context). Alba is situated at the crossroads of youth assistance, justice and education.

The asbl ARPEGE is a fully subsidised private agency working in the field of juvenile delinquency. It is mandated by the juvenile court to organise restorative offers, such as victim-offender mediation and family group conferences, and put in place compulsory measures, such as community service and the Recto-Verso program.

Its target audience is made up of minors aged 12 to 18 years who have committed an offence, and their victims, regardless of their age.

Arpège operates within the legal framework of the Decree of 18 January 2018 of the Wallonia Brussels Federation establishing the code of prevention, youth assistance, and youth protection. It is based in Liège, Belgium.

The service provides, under judicial mandate, various missions in the field of juvenile justice:

- setting up and accompanying educational and general interest services,
- the organisation of mediations and restorative group consultations (CRG),
- the organisation of trainings in the management of emotions and aggression.

The CAW helps people with all their questions and problems related to well-being. A difficult relationship. Personal difficulties. Financial, administrative, legal or material problems. Problems in the family or wider social environment. They also offer assistance to victims and perpetrators of violence, abuse and those involved in road accidents and crimes.

The Patio is a non-profit association (vzw) of 10 small-scale services within the special youth aid in the North-West Flanders region. These departments are recognized by the Youth Welfare Agency of the Flemish Ministry of Welfare, Public Health and Family. The association was established on 17/11/2009. 

Le Radian has four main activities that seek to rewrite the relation that is harmed when a minor commits an “act of delinquency”: mediation, Restorative Group Consultation, the educational public benefit service and the awareness module addressing the consequences of the performed acts and their impact on the victims.

These four activities allow young offenders to take responsibility and repair the harm done by their actions. Two of these actions (mediation and Restorative Group Consultation) are also addressing victims. Mediation and Restorative Group Consultation give the victim the opportunity to be heard and recognised and to achieve relational and/or material reparation.

These missions are entrusted by youth judges or prosecutors. The Radian is a service approved and subsidised by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
