Welcome To The Free Conflict Help Center
Where ever people gather and interact there will
be differences of opinion, conflict, disagreements,
disputes and arguments. It's a normal part of human
functioning. We all have a tendency to shy away from
conflict or view it as a negative process. What's
easy to forget is that conflict can be a negative
thing, or it can be positive depending on the characteristics
of the conflict, and how we manage and handle disputes
and disagreements.
This public service site was built to help people
improve their ability to manage conflict effectively
once it starts, and to prevent unnecessary conflict
and misguided conflict escalation
