Some people attempt to avoid conflicts, believing they produce little but pain. In many situations however, conflict stimulates great energy and creativity. Sometimes it brings people much closer together. Conflicts are often the source of valuable change, insight, and growth. When it is well resolved, conflict generates enormous individual and group benefit.

This six-day workshop is designed to support program participants as they learn more about the psychological forces, skills, and behaviors, that contribute to the productive resolution of conflict.
