Inhaltsangabe

"This faith-filled approach to addressing bullying and other disruptive behaviors stands as an exemplary model for our parishes, homes and schools." - The Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson, Archbishop of St. Louis

An age-old problem is now a golden opportunity!

From inspiring kids to performing simple acts of kindness, to helping teachers recognize warning signs, to empowering parents, Virtue-Based Restorative Discipline helps put an end to bullying issues and restores a safe, positive, and welcoming environment for all.

Designed to decrease anti-social behaviors and increase faith practices, this unique program, as developed in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, moves away from punitive methods of dealing with anti-social behavior, getting to the root cause of the issue.

• Lays a foundation of spirituality for parents and kids
• Educates children on virtues and integrates them as part of the solution
• Strengthens relationships with God and others
• Creates high accountability and high responsibility for solving conflicts.

"We are encouraged by the changes we have seen in adults and students as we strengthen Catholic identity." -- George Henry, Superintendent for Catholic Education, Archdiocese of St. Louis

"It is a program on bullying, yet we're truly working to grow in faith and love. Well worth it!" -- Ben H., Parent at St. Peter School, Kirkwood, MO

"I get to do something that makes me think about my actions and help others to learn from my mistakes. I hardly ever get in trouble anymore." -- Juan, an 8th grader at Holy Trinity School
