This program provides a series of workshops to all youth, not just those experiencing multiple barriers to life successes. These workshops will be experiential in nature and teach youth how to manage and deal with their personal conflict and anger styles. Embedded in the workshop series will be the following.

  • Workshop 1 – Conflict
  • Workshop 2 – Anger
  • Workshop 3 – Learning communication
  • Workshop 4 – Mediation

OBJECTIVES

This program works with youth in developing the necessary skills to deal with conflicts.

The goal of this program is to provide youth with the opportunity to develop skills (primarily conflict management skills) so they can improve relationships with peers, parents and those in authority. Youth will have a positive environment to explore their personal conflict and anger styles. The participants will have the opportunity to strengthen their ability to address issues surrounding conflict in a productive manner that supports conflict resolution. This will reduce and minimize the escalation of violence within our communities. The skills gained in the workshops are useful for all relationships and each participant will receive a certificate upon completion of all four workshops.
