| Conflict Resolution is an essential part of a person's wellness. Usually, people refer to Conflict Resolution as solving problems with others. Although this is true, It is much more! Many if not most problems a person has actually stem from conflicts they have with themselves. This may be how to control anger, deal with stress, communicate, or a poor self concept/self esteem. This unit will help students be able to begin to understand the inner conflicts they are going through and thus, enable them to better make healthier decisions. |
