Conflict Resolution Training run by an external program is a structured course or workshop provided by organizations or institutions specializing in conflict management. These programs are designed to teach individuals or groups effective strategies for resolving disputes, improving communication, and fostering collaboration. They often include hands-on activities, role-playing scenarios, and theoretical frameworks to help participants understand and practice conflict resolution techniques.

Examples of external programs include:

• Mediation Training Institute: Offers certified trainer programs focused on workplace conflict resolution, including mediation techniques and conflict management strategies.
• National Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC): Provides training sessions that combine theory with practical tools for navigating challenging conversations in workplaces, schools, and communities.

These programs are ideal for troop leaders, educators, or anyone looking to enhance their conflict resolution skills.

Finding Programs

To find resources for programs that focus on conflict resolution, here are some trusted approaches:

1. Explore Dedicated Organizations
   • Organizations like Positive Action and Conflict Resolution Education Connection offer evidence-based programs and materials designed to teach conflict resolution skills to educators and students.
2. Government Resources
   • The Office of Justice Programs provides guides and tools for implementing conflict resolution education in schools and youth-serving organizations.
3. Local Community Centers and Schools
   • Reach out to local schools, libraries, or community centers, as they often host workshops or have partnerships with conflict resolution programs.
4. Online Platforms
   • Websites like CREducation.net provide practical resources, classroom activities, and training materials for educators.
5. Professional Development Opportunities
   • Attend conferences or webinars focused on social-emotional learning (SEL) and conflict resolution. These events often feature expert-led sessions and networking opportunities.
6. Collaborate with Youth Organizations
   • Partner with scouting groups, after-school programs, or youth organizations that may already incorporate conflict resolution training into their activities.

These resources can help leaders develop the skills needed to manage drama effectively and foster a positive environment.
