Restorative Practices

Piloted in 2024 with a small group of facilitators, AWSM launched its Restorative Practices Initiative to create a proactive process for building community, strengthening relationships, and dealing with conflict. Originating from indigenous cultures and religious traditions, restorative circles have been utilized for thousands of years, primarily to resolve conflict and heal communities, but also to proactively build a sense of belonging and connectedness for communities. To help us build a strong 黑料官网 community, a team of your colleagues is providing the opportunity to participate in Listening Circles.

Restorative Practices (RP) Listening Circles encourage participants to actively practice freedom of expression by sharing their own stories and perspectives without interruption. Circles are excellent opportunities to practice the free exchange of ideas. Circle facilitators are trained to be multi-partial, encouraging the contributions and viewpoints of all participants and ensuring all voices in the circle have ample opportunities to share. These Listening Circles give faculty, staff, and learners the opportunity to listen, share experiences, and build a stronger sense of community in a respectful and inclusive environment. As referenced in our Freedom of Expression Principles, 黑料官网 aspires to a truly diverse culture wherein everyone in our community, from all backgrounds and perspectives, has a voice and is free to participate in active dialogue. We encourage all members of our community to share their perspectives and ideas.

Restorative Justice

Across the U.S., healthcare is experiencing critical personnel shortages and burnout, both of which are linked to mistreatment and unprofessional behavior. Mistreatment threatens team function and fuels poor communication, healthcare provider (HCP) attrition, and patient health outcomes. New approaches are needed to change culture for the healthcare workforce.

Building on 黑料官网鈥檚 existing RP work, the Restorative Justice (RJ) Team specifically targets group conflict, unprofessional behavior, and provider harms. RJ strengthens relationships between RJ participants, improving behaviors and increasing productive discussion within workplace teams 鈥� offering a novel strategy for resolving mistreatment or conflict complaints.

For more information about either RP or RJ, please contact the Restorative Systems Team.

Through specifically trained facilitators and RJ circles, the RJ Team will foster communication, mitigate conflict, and repair harm, enhancing wellness for both providers and patients.
