SUMMARY:Conflict Resolution for Youth Programs
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday November 9th & Wednesday November 10th\, 2021 \n9:30 AM – 12:30 PM EST both days \nOnline Training \nTraining Fee: $150* \n*We do not offer scholarships for our trainings\, but do offer discounts on a case-by-case basis.  If this fee presents a challenge\, please email us at best@hria.org. \nPlease Note: We are capping this training at 35 people on a first come\, first served basis.  We ask that each organization send no more than three people to this training.  Thank you for your understanding.\nAs any youth worker knows\, conflict is bound to arise in a youth program. However\, handling conflict appropriately can help build a stronger group dynamic amongst your young people.  This 2-day online training focuses on exploring conflict resolution to help manage group dynamics when working with youth in your programs.  The trainers will define conflict\, how it might show up in your program\, and ways to address it that will help support everyone involved.  Through large and small group discussion and hands-on activities\, participants will get to explore different conflict approaches (including “win-win” solutions and “positions and interests”) and learn steps to help resolve conflict and create a healthier group connection. \nTo view a PDF version of the flyer\, please click here.\nREGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
