Reducing Aggressive Behavior through Conflict Resolution

Overview:

Unresolved conflicts, both in person and online, have the potential to escalate into more aggressive actions. Do your students have the skills to resolve conflicts peacefully and communicate their frustrations or anger with respectful, problem-solving approaches? This training will provide participants with interactive methods to educate youth on effective and safe communications on and offline that can discourage violence and build respectful relationships with others. The lessons provided will address the consequences for aggressive and violent actions and equip students with skills to communicate effectively, recognize forms of aggressions with communications and de-escalate rising conflicts. Students will also understand the importance of reporting potential violent or aggressive actions to help others avoid consequences and help provide a safe learning environment for their school community.
