The goal of this training is to generate an approach to employment and consumers that builds a safe environment for dealing creatively with conflict as it emerges in the workplace.

Participants will:

...Plan strategies for ongoing support for addressing the day-to-day experience of conflict and challenge in the workplace.

The seminar will be an "interactive" and "hands-on" training, designed to address conflict and challenges as they emerge in the actual work setting. Participants are asked to bring with them situations and scenarios that are being encountered in their setting. Each component of the training will present learners with an opportunity to examine their own experiences in light of the framework and methodologies outlined. Participants will also explore ways they can create continuing support systems following the training day.
