12 Days of Gratitude

As part of our 12 Days of Gratitude for 2020, we selected 3 small businesses we felt promoted the principles of restorative practices with their products. The businesses featured here reinforce community building and self care, which are 2 of the pillars pf restorative practices.

The Youth Restoration Project’s goal is to empower you with the benefits of restorative practices this holiday season, and beyond. Please join our mailing list to stay informed about our upcoming training so that you can continue your own restorative growth.

Worksheets with Restorative Activities

During this time of Covid it’s easy to look only at hardships and struggles. Take a moment to celebrate the strengths that you and your family possess by doing a restorative activity together!

These worksheets can be used in a virtual circle or at a family dinner. You don’t have to print them out, but we find sticking them on the refrigerator is a good reminder to use them.
