SUMMARY:Foundations in Restorative Practices
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re an educator\, a social service worker\, or involved in the legal system\, restorative practices can revolutionize how you interact with people and hold power. \nOffered through the University of Maine Division of Lifelong Learning and delivered by the Restorative Justice Project Maine\, this program will immerse you in the power of restorative practices\, which are deeply rooted in indigenous peacemaking traditions. You’ll learn practical tools for conflict resolution and develop a profound understanding of restorative philosophy. \nOver the course of one week\, you’ll be part of a supportive learning group that explores the philosophy behind restorative practices. Through discussions\, exercises\, and other practical activities\, you’ll deepen your understanding and gain techniques to build strong\, connected cultures. \nWhen conflict occurs\, you’ll have non-adversarial problem-solving tools. You’ll learn firsthand from people and organizations already using restorative practices in their everyday lives and work. \nEnroll Today\n\n\nKey Learning Outcomes\nOver the course of this program\, participants will: \n\nAcquire a strong theoretical foundation in restorative practices that have been proven to enhance both personal and professional spheres\nDevelop the skills necessary to facilitate community-building circles\nBecome acquainted with restorative responses to harm (though a deep dive into these responsive practices is outside the scope of this training)\nHave access to planning tools and resources tailored to your specific needs\nGain techniques to build strong\, connected cultures\nLearn problem-solving tools to reach solutions that build safer and more equitable environments\nPractice new ways of relating to people and organizations\nImprove decision-making and leadership skills.\nGain access to future support and development opportunities to become an in-house resource for restorative practices\n\n\n\nTestimonials\nHere’s what participants are saying about our Continuing Education training: \n\n“This training provided a wealth of knowledge and tremendous guidance on how to apply that knowledge to real life situations & scenarios. All this while simultaneously building community in the group of participants & facilitators.”\n“I can’t say enough good things about this series. I feel stronger in my knowledge of restorative practices\, and in my conviction that they belong across all sectors of our lives. I feel more confident now in championing a broader uptake of RP in my organization because I have learned and seen the transformative power it can have on communities of all kinds. After this training I feel more able to explain that transformative benefit to others who may be less familiar with it.”\n“I found the Foundations of Restorative Practice training very worthwhile. I came to the course already with prior training and experience in restorative practices\, and gained so much more knowledge and skills. I liked how the class was split into 6 sessions over a few months – it made the information easier to take in and learn. Even before the class was complete\, I was able to take information I learned and use it in my school. The facilitators of the training were knowledgeable\, organized\, approachable\, and wonderful. They made it a great experience!”\n\nQuestions? Email training@rjpmaine.org \n\nEnroll Today

I feel stronger in my knowledge of restorative practices\, and in my conviction that they belong across all sectors of our lives. I feel more confident now in championing a broader uptake of RP in my organization because I have learned and seen the transformative power it can have on communities of all kinds. After this training I feel more able to explain that transformative benefit to others who may be less familiar with it.”\n“I found the Foundations of Restorative Practice training very worthwhile. I came to the course already with prior training and experience in restorative practices\, and gained so much more knowledge and skills. I liked how the class was split into 6 sessions over a few months – it made the information easier to take in and learn. Even before the class was complete\, I was able to take information I learned and use it in my school. The facilitators of the training were knowledgeable\, organized\, approachable\, and wonderful. They made it a great experience!”\n\nQuestions? Email training@rjpmaine.org \n\nEnroll Today
