Dealing Constructively with Conflict

This one day course will explore ways to acknowledge differences, handle tensions, choose behaviour and negotiate outcomes.

This course will encourage participants to identify and examine strategies they currently use to handle conflict and confrontation, consider how these strategies have evolved and evaluate their effectiveness.

Through key texts/handouts, group reflection and situation enactment the group will be encouraged to broaden the range of options available and consider the ways in which we can support each other in situations we find challenging.
