restorative practices

Restorative practices are approaches used to build community and strengthen relationships, particularly in schools and organizations. Instead of focusing solely on punishment for wrongdoing, these practices emphasize repairing harm and fostering understanding among those affected. They encourage open dialogue, allowing individuals to share their feelings and perspectives. The goal is to promote accountability, empathy, and resolution, creating a supportive environment for everyone involved. This approach helps to cultivate mutual respect, prevent future conflicts, and enhance the overall well-being of the community.
