Conflict Resolution

Ending of conflict, disputes, or disagreements by nonviolent means with intent to achieve a “win-win” outcome for all parties.

Conflict resolution involves recognition by the clashing parties of one another’s interests, needs, perspectives, and continued existence. It addresses and resolves deep-rooted/underlying sources and causes of conflict. It often uses a problem-solving methodology in order to identify options for addressing the sources of conflict that are mutually satisfactory, self-perpetuating, and sustaining.
