A Customized BCTF’s Managing Conflict Workshop

Conflict is inevitable in groups, but it does not need to cause division and animosity if it is managed effectively. This workshop gives participants an insight into their own conflict management styles, and gives some practice in effective conflict management and communication skills. There will be a focus on how to empower staff members to work through the conflicts they are facing. The workshop also provides information about the mediation services available from the STA & BCTF.
