FREE community conflict resolution training
May 18, 2017
The Midlands Mediation Center will offer five Conflict = Opportunity community workshops. The two-hour training sessions will take place throughout Richland County, and all sessions are free and open to the public.
The Conflict = Opportunity workshops are designed to help adults learn and practice skills to identify, analyze and resolve disagreements that may occur between neighbors, co-workers, fellow organization affiliates and family members. The training will explore the following topics: understanding the causes and consequences of unresolved disputes, conflict style identification, the importance of active listening and the task of moving a difficult conversation to a learning one.
If you’re interested in gaining or renewing your peaceful conflict-resolutions practices, please register for one of our upcoming Conflict= Opportunity community conflict resolution workshops:
