The Restorative Justice Project Maine will be offering a new Foundations of Community Based Restorative Practices training this fall. The series includes six days: Aug. 20-21 and 28, Sept. 25, Nov. 6, and Dec. 4, from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. each day, online via Zoom.

This training will enrich the work of anyone working with others, including teachers and coaches, human resources personnel, administrators, peer support personnel, medical professionals, social workers, and parents. Because restorative practices thrive in an environment where multiple practitioners can support each other, RJP offers discounted registration ($50 off) for signing up with a friend or colleague. Training fee covers a comprehensive training manual, video series, and 6 days of online live training.

The values, principles, and practices of being in restorative relationships are the touchstones for this series. RJP will explore and experience what it could mean for each of us to approach our lives and our relationships with a restorative lens, mindset, and worldview. The group will also discuss restorative responses to harm (RJP offers a separate training that does a deep dive into that topic, for which this Foundations series is a prerequisite).

Please note: registration is required so that RJP can send you the Zoom link and training materials. Space is limited to 30 participants.
