The Brain Science Behind Effective Restorative Practices (Hosted by: NACRJ- Webinar Series)

September 9, 2026 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Hosted By: National Association of Community and Restorative Justice. 

This webinar will present a research-centered examination of the neurobiological mechanisms that shape conflict, relational safety, and restorative engagement in educational and youth serving settings. Based on empirical evidence of affective neuroscience, autonomic regulation, trauma physiology, and relational neurobiology, the session reframes restorative practices as neurobiological processes governed by right-hemispheric systems rather than cognitive or behavioral frameworks. 

Participants will explore how to:

• Understand the brain systems that influence behavior, regulation, and relational safety

• Connect restorative practices with neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and cultural responsiveness

• Use brain-based strategies to co-regulate, strengthen trust, and reduce conflict

Webinar pricing is as follows:

Featuring Carlos Alvarez who is the founder and CEO of the Los Angeles Institute for Right Brain Practices and Research and a nationally recognized leader in restorative practices.
