Staying with Conflict:

Working with Ongoing Disputes

September 20^th & 21^st, 2012

Cobble Hill, BC

How can we help clients deal with their immediate concerns and also prepare them in a meaningful way for the long-term challenges they face?

Participants will work on how to:

· reconstruct conflict narratives so the enduring element is framed clearly and constructively

· deal with the powerful tendencies to avoid conflict that in fact often exacerbate conflict

· establish durable communication procedures

· understand and assist people through the inevitable power struggles that are part of a long term conflict

· understand agreements as a platform for ongoing conflict

Bernie Mayer, Ph.D., is a noted professor (University of Notre Dame, Creighton University), mediator, facilitator, and trainer. He is also the two-time winner of the CPR International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution outstanding book of the year (Beyond Neutrality: Confronting the Crisis in Conflict Resolution; Staying with Conflict: A Strategic Approach to Ongoing Disputes).

This training is designed for mediators and dispute resolution practitioners who deal with enduring conflicts, such as lawyers, collaborative practitioners, parenting coordinators, labour relations practitioners, arbitrators and public policy professionals.
