“We will strengthen Denver North High School’s collaborative restorative approach platform in order to support students in the development of the skills needed to limit future verbal and physical altercations. A safety officer and a school counselor will facilitate an eight-week group intervention twice a year for students who have been involved in conflicts with peers. The group will focus on coping, communication and conflict resolution skills. Students who have been involved in peer conflict will have the option to join this group. In the group, students will work to replace combative behaviors with proactive communication skills.”
