Youth services are most effective when professionals directly engage the families of the youth they serve. When adults work together, children change.
This workshop will demonstrate how “restorative practices” can be used to increase client/student compliance, effectively involve adults who care about the child and increase program success rates.
This workshop will discuss practical, real-life strategies you can use with youth and their family on your next day of work.
“The IIRP workshops we have sponsored have always been practical, professionally presented, credible and fun—among the best of the many trainers I have seen.”
