Thoroughly understand restorative concepts, and learn effective strategies for managing behavior and teaching youth to take responsibility for their actions.

	Upcoming Date in NYC Mar 20, 2008 (Thu) United Way of New York City, 2 Park Ave.
	"CASES has been working with IIRP since 2003 at Community Prep High School where we have made restorative practices a cornerstone of our approach to school culture. The change has been dramatic." —Joel Copperman, CEO, CASES, Inc.
	"The restorative practices briefing was an affirming experience. It reinforced what I am doing in my conflict resolution and peer mediation work with schools. The restorative justice questions are great questions to build community between the student and his peers and his fellow classroom students." — Nino Nannarone, nationally-known education consultant
	"I'm a firm believer in restorative practices because it fosters connections between people and provides a very effective framework for handling conflict." —Ana M. Bermúdez, Director, Juvenile Justice Programs, The Children's Aid Society
