Integrating conflict resolution and restorative practices into your work with systems involved youth

Jon Gilgoff

Training Description

Though conflict may feel like a huge barrier, it can also be a great asset in building healthy and productive relationships with and among our clients. To effectively navigate unhealthy conflicts requires a broad skill set spanning empathy taking, assertiveness, mediation, restorative practices, and other proven techniques. Join us at this interactive workshop to review these and other strategies which aid us in preventing, resolving, and recovering from difficult conflict situations.  Together we will build up our toolboxes so we can confidently respond to and recover from conflicts with systems involved youth and their families.

Learning Objective

• To examine our belief system around conflict and how that impacts our approach to conflict resolution

• To explore at least 5 conflict styles and practice applying them to challenging youth work scenarios
