Your Training Description

Shifting to a restorative framework improves your interventions and give youth tools they can use in spaces that aren’t set up to empower them. You’ll have a stronger foundation for more effective communication and be better prepared to deal with your own discomfort, particularly in conflict situations. Learning the basics of restorative practices is vital to building systemic equity. You’ll develop plans for addressing the behavior challenges that bring you the most discomfort in your daily work. You’ll gain tools to help youth believe in their capacity, self-worth, and voice.
