Restorative Practices 101
This training explores the fundamentals of restorative practices: a process of centering community, fostering an environment of mutual respect, and responding to instances of harm.
Through exercises and discussion, you will deepen your understanding of how restorative practices can benefit relationships across your organization, personally and professionally.
You’ll also learn to incorporate restorative approaches into your organization’s internal and external operations and interactions, and how to center accountability in efforts to repair harm and prevent harm from reoccurring.
This training guides you along the path of creating a restorative workplace that builds trust, community, and empathy.
Who this training is for: Human Resources professionals, DE&I professionals, leadership teams, employee resource groups, board members, agency service providers, and educators who want to learn restorative ways to build community, and prevent and repair harm.
