Navigating Conflict in the School Environment: Two Part Webinar Series - Session 1 of 2

Overview
This practical, transformative webinar series equips teachers and school leaders with essential skills to navigate conflict constructively.

Rooted in teachings from Nonviolent Communication (NVC), aligned with the CINERGY® Conflict Coaching Model, and grounded in mediation and authentic relating practices, the training empowers participants to reshape their approach to conflict, both personally and within their school communities.
