This training is designed to equip those who work with students struggling with truancy and school avoidance, educators, school administrators, and support staff with the knowledge and skills to effectively use Restorative Practices to address truancy. The goal is to foster a supportive school environment that encourages regular attendance by engaging students and their families in meaningful dialogue and problem-solving.
In this insightful presentation, we examine how behaviors often serve as signals of underlying unmet needs, ranging from basic physiological necessities to the deeper emotional and psychological desires for belonging and self-actualization. By recognizing these signals, we can shift our perspective from judgment to understanding, fostering empathy and connection. Through interactive discussions and real-life examples, we will highlight the importance of identifying these unmet needs, not just in ourselves but also in our relationships and communities. We will also delve into strategies for addressing these needs, attendees will leave with practical tools to create supportive environments that nurture growth, resilience, and well-being. Join us in this journey to uncover the reasons behind behaviors and discover how to cultivate hope in ourselves and others.
