Rooted Ecosystems Community of Practice
About this Event
NewRoot's Rooted Ecosystems program invites Englewood community members to convene to build community and share their individual and collective experiences as peace builders and community builders. For those who have participated in a Rooted Ecosystems training, this will be a great chance to check in and discuss best practices for our restorative work. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided!
What is Rooted Ecosystems?
Rooted Ecosystems is a multi-organization program dedicated to uniting students, educators, community-members, administrators, nonprofit staff, and families around the same language: one of connection, relationship building, and support. This program will provide restorative practice training for adults and students across elementary and high schools, as well as through public-facing activities and with community-based organizations. This program is funded as part of the Chicago Department of Public Health’s “A Healthy Chicago” initiative aimed at combating community violence and strengthening access to the tools for a healthier life.
What are Restorative Practices and SEL?
Restorative Practices (RP) are trauma-informed approaches that strengthen relationships through trust, understanding, and repairing harm. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) equips both students and adults to manage emotions, build relationships, and make responsible decisions. Together, these evidence-based practices help adults establish positive communities where conflict is navigated peacefully and students experience greater emotional safety, deeper connection, and improved academic and social outcomes.
