Using Restorative Practices to Support Emotional Resilience

Using Restorative Practices to Support Emotional Resilience

Restorative practice (RP) places people and repairing relationships at the heart of its response to conflict. It is an evidence- based approach that is increasingly being used in schools and with families as well as the justice system to support healing after harm. Restorative processes aim to empower all individuals involved to overcome harm and move forward in a positive way and in RP, there is an emphasis on understanding everyone’s emotions and needs, recognising the impact of shame and encouraging  empathy.

This short introductory session focused on RP and emotional resilience is relevant for individuals who have had some previous training in this area and/or those who have accessed the Introduction to RP webcast.

Aims: This half day, IN PERSON training session aims to support participants to:

• Understand the importance of emotional literacy when working with conflict – gaining some tools for how to increase this with children and young people
• Recognise the impact of shame and how it  ‘shows up’ when dealing with conflict/harmful situations
• Learn techniques from RP  - which encourage building empathy and managing the impact of shame positively when working with conflict

Target Group: Staff from all Greenwich SCB agencies that are in contact/work regularly with children/young people. Multi disciplinary and agency professionals in education, health, social care,therapeutic and clinical services
