The SCASD FIT (Family Intervention Team) will facilitate a five-week training on Restorative Practices.

In weeks 1-3, parents will learn strategies to build and maintain strong healthy relationships with their spouses, children, families, and even colleagues. Interactive experiences bring you to a full understanding of the fundamental unifying premise of restorative practices—that people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes in their lives when those in positions of authority do things with them rather than to them or for them.

Weeks 4-5 will focus on “Using Circles Effectively”. Circles facilitate conversation and encourage full participation to help promote truly meaningful communication. Through video, practice, and discussion, participants identify reliable methods for using circles to build community and address family behaviors and
relationships. The skills that will be taught can be used in all settings and with all relationships.
