Reflection has the power to transform both negative and positive experiences. Everyone needs reflective practices to learn from their experiences, fully process what has occurred, and make informed changes or decisions in the future. This is especially crucial for young people who encounter trauma, adversity, or new experiences. This session aims to equip educators with effective reflection practices to facilitate meaning-making.
