Restorative practices focus on fostering interpersonal and community trust, respect, and relationships. This workshop will explore restorative practices as they relate to social work practice. We will apply restorative conceptual frameworks and principles, while teaching applied restorative practice skills. Participants will learn to apply restorative practices to a number of social work settings and across client populations, and will be able to identify how restorative practices can impact those involved.

We invite you to a Community Conversation around Increasing the Sense of Belonging at the School of Social Work on Monday, September 30, 2024, from 12 pm- 1 pm. 

A Sense of Belonging- the subjective feeling of deep conversation with social groups, physical places, and individual and collective experiences- is a fundamental human need that predicts numerous mental, physical, social, economic, and behavioral outcomes. This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear!  If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)

With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
