FREE COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS - OCTOBER 15, 2026

 

De-Escalation: Turn Conflict into Connection

When emotions run high, it can be easy to react, shut down, avoid conversation, or say things we regret. Join the Center for Dialog & Resolution for a free, interactive workshop to learn practical skills to stay grounded, listen with curiosity, share your perspective with care, and turn disagreements into opportunities for connection.


In this workshop, you will:

  • Explore why disagreements can be difficult.
  • Practice self-regulation when emotions rise.
  • Experience deep listening across different perspectives.
  • Practice expressing a different view without adding to the tension.
  • Take home skills for conversations with family, friends, colleagues, and community members.
