Learn more about restorative practices training
Restorative Practices recognises that the ability to manage relationships is central to lifelong learning and success.
The Socratic Method (asking questions) encourages self-reflection, creates the space to be heard and challenges negative behaviour with regards to its impact on others. This process cultivates the capacity to build and maintain significant relationships both in the home, at work, and in the community for the betterment of society.
Restorative Practices Framework
Using a Restorative Practice framework allows the practitioner to create the conditions for others to:
- Make sense and meaning of where they are at and how they got there
- Work out what matters and what's important
- What needs to change and what their role in that change is
- How to build and sustain healthy relationships
