This second level, in-depth training will present conflict resolution skills through experiential learning exercises and practice with the goal of helping Direct Service providers and community members to think about and make choices to reduce conflicts in work and everyday settings. This is an intensive, three-day learning experience which teaches interpersonal conflict resolution skills through a series of step-by-step processes. These shared experiences in small groups and one-to-one interactions build a sense of community and trust.

Alternatives to Violence (AVP) workshops seek to assist people in personal growth and change, but AVP is not psychotherapy. We join together, participants and facilitators both, to explore our own corners of violence and seek more constructive and positive ways to respond.
