Melbourne: 2-days in-person
Join Kristy Elliott for this advanced workshop, which is designed to bridge the gap between knowing the theory and living it in the messy, pressured reality of school life.
Over two intensive days, you’ll move beyond the foundational “what” of restorative practice into the skilled “how”—developing the confidence, language, and lived experience to respond to complex challenges with clarity, compassion, and genuine effectiveness.
This is where restorative practice becomes second nature. Where you stop thinking about what to say and start trusting your capacity to show up restoratively, even in the moments that matter most.
