Research Report Release! “Building Foundations of Health and Wellbeing in School: A Study of Restorative Practices and Girls of Color”

We are excited to announce a new report release,”Building Foundations of Health and Wellbeing in School: A Study of Restorative Practices and Girls of Color.” Authored by Rebecca Epstein and Senior Scholar Thalia González, this repot examines associations between school-based restorative practices and protective health factors for girls of color. Throughout the project, we found that restorative practices resulted benefits in the following categories:

• – School connectedness
• – Peer relationships
• – Connections to family
• – Sense of safety and positive school climate
• – Social and emotional literacy (SEL) skills
• – Mental health, resilience, and empowerment
