Conflict Resolution Skills for System-Involved Youth and Young Adults

Nicole Klasey, Psy.D., Nancy Acosta

Training Description

Many system-involved youth and young adults struggle with aggression, low frustration tolerance, etc. All this can make conflict much more difficult, which is troublesome given that conflict can arise within families, within relationships with friends and romantic partners, at school, at work, etc. This training will provide an overview of why conflict arises, how to understand conflict through a cultural lens, what happens when conflict isn’t resolved, and conflict resolution skills with system-involved youth in relationships, at school and at work.

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will be able to describe at least 2 conflict resolution skills.

2. Participants will be able to identify at least 1 impact of unresolved conflict in system-involved youth and young adults.
