Conflict Workshops
Aiming to reduce the stress of conflict in everyday relationships, our interactive workshops share some of the ideas and techniques used in mediation.
Suitable for workplaces and secondary school students, they are short, engaging and highly applicable. They can be used to support organisations’ wellbeing and positive mental health policies.
Our workshops give participants the skills to refocus from the traditional ‘I’m right /you’re wrong’ conflict mindset and the associated ‘win/lose’ approach to resolution. They show that with the right skills, ‘win/win’ outcomes are possible for virtually any level of conflict. The new approach gives people the confidence to communicate their own needs and to consider others, enabling a more respectful, peaceful and efficient environment for those working side by side, day to day.
