Conflict resolution and peer mediation toolkit. Creative Response to Families and Conflict. Breaking up together: Keeping the Family Together In Marital Conflict Marital conflicts, separation and divorce can drive families apart, but it does not have to be that way. In fact,, CRC believes that with some work, families can actually come together during these difficult situations. Coming together as a family in conflict can happen with mediation. Mediation is a process where a trained mediator fairly intervenes on the behalf of both people or parties involved to fairly bring about reconciliation, compromise or settlement.

Mediation is a short-term process in which more often than not leads to: improved relations; healthier family dynamics and new skills for managing roles and responsibilities. CRC created Creative Response to Families and Conflict (CRFC) because couples and children need to feel positive about their situation when they begin to transition into separation or divorce. CRFC Programs: Creative Response to Families and Conflict Brochure. Community Boards | Building Community through Conflict Resolution. CRC School-Based Workshops. Creative Response to Conflict workshops help teachers, teacher’s assistants and other school staff learn skills for creative conflict resolution they can use themselves and teach to students. A unique blend of cognitive and social-emotional learning, CRC’s approach to conflict resolution skill building can easily be integrated into the classroom curriculum. The in-school workshops provide interactive activities and games that help students recognize creative and positive alternatives to negative behavior.

With practice and coaching from their teachers and teaching assistants, students become proficient in resolving conflict. When CRC concepts are integrated into the school setting, educators and students feel part of a safer, more open and more productive school community. These are skills that last long after the workshops are done, they last a lifetime. Global Peacebuilding Center | Morningside Center | morningsidecenter.org. Shalom Educating For Peace.

Programs and Research RJP - Restorative Justice Program CNCR became involved in studying restorative justice as it relates to conflict management and resolution in 2008 when we partnered on a Bureau of Justice Affairs, US Department of Justice grant with the School of Social Work at Georgia State University.

The product of the grant was the first comprehensive repository for resources related to restorative justice in the Southeastern United States. As the Restorative Justice Clearinghouse took shape, CNCR decided to expand the project to examine RJ legislation across the US and create a web-based database for use by researchers and practitioners alike. CRiSP - Conflict Resolution in Schools Program CNCR's Conflict Resolution in Schools Program (CRiSP) examines the institutionalization of conflict resolution education (CRE) in K-12 schools.
