Program Abstract:
This session provides the opportunity to do a deep dive into how to build a sense of community, social connectedness, and community resilience as prevention strategies for advancing health on campus and reducing risk behaviors. Restorative practices (RP) can create the conditions for diverse students to thrive in supportive and health-engendering environments by strengthening relationships between individuals as well as social connections within the campus community. Using community health and prevention frameworks, this workshop will focus on the prosocial priming aim of Restorative Practice, including the relationships between the practices and social determinants of health (e.g., sense of community, social connectedness, and community resilience).
