Part 2 of this training on Restorative Practices will focus on alternatives to traditional punitive-based discipline.

Participants will gain an understanding of youth brain development, the effects of trauma, and why punitive discipline fails to change behaviors.

Conflict and harm will happen in school and these youths' lives. Trusted adults can use Restorative Discipline to empower youth, hold them accountable, communicate with dignity, and teach them skills they will need their entire lives.
