Restorative Mindset for Organizational Leaders
This three-hour session, The Restorative Mindset for Organizational Leaders, was designed specifically for UW Medicine senior leaders. This session will help you develop a deeper understanding of restorative principles and enhance your ability to support the members of your unit who will lead circles in the future.
UW Medicine has embarked on a journey to bring restorative practices into our institution to build community and as an alternative dispute resolution tool. For these efforts to be successful, we need UW Medicine senior leaders to understand and be advocates of restorative practices. This knowledge and experience will help you support colleagues in your units who will be trained and moving into further work as facilitators.
This workshop will dive deeper into the three tiers of restorative justice and restorative practices. These principles are based upon the process of community building and acknowledgement of accountability:
Tier 1. Prevention – focused on community building;
Tier 2. Intervention – used to address harm;
Tier 3. Reintegration – balancing circles of community support and accountability (COSA) for the party responsible for harm as they are reintroduced to the community.
Additionally, as a leader you will learn:
- When to consider restorative justice to promote healing when harm has occurred
- How to incorporate community building circles into everyday work
- How leading with a restorative mindset can help navigate conflict
More Opportunities coming soon!
