Restorative Practices

Restorative practices are encouraged or suggested by every level of government as well as recommended by the top professional organizations within the education and criminal justice communities.  Restorative Beats provides pro bono publico, non-partisan philosophical background information to political leaders.

Restorative Beats can help with the planning and implementation of restorative practices in your school.  We provide custom tailored professional development for the teachers and support for administrators who are responsible for the initiative.

A restorative circle can help repair harm and let healing begin, but it takes proper planning before all parties come together.  It is also important to set expectations for all parties involved before the day of the circle.  In some cases, a neutral third party can help bring resolution to a difficult situation.

Young people make bad decisions and sometimes very bad decisions.  Students and families may experience embarrassment, anger, shame and fear about the consequences.  We can provide support for your conversations and facilitate discussions with the school district.

Our team has learned amazing things from the business community, and we would love to return the favor by offering social and emotional skills that will revolutionize your customer interactions.

Begin with basic mindful movement and guided breathing exercises with your staff.  Continue introducing elements of Yoga into your organization until your staff and students are relaxed, happy and resilient.

Sometimes students need a little extra help regulating their emotions and behaviors.  Send your child to school with the skills to be successful.

Healthy and happy employees will build a stronger company.  Do not let stress, fear, and fatigue erode your organization's productivity.

If it is time to plan a team building event, combine your social outing with professional development that will enhance the climate of your organization.  Music defines generations and marks our most cherished memories, and it has the power to motivate and inspire beyond any tool that humanity has to offer. 

Build a DJ Club at your school and integrate it with social and emotional learning.  The positive impact on your school environment is immediate and the cost of the equipment is offset by in-house DJs for school dances and events.
