Facili­ tating peer groups with youth is an extremely valuable tool for bringing about change. This participatory course is for youth and child care workers and other practitioners who want to work with adolescents in a supportive role rather than acting as behavioural gatekeepers. The course will provide a theoretical overview of "positive peer cul­ ture," group dynamics, and group process.

Length: 2 days Date(s): February 27-28 Fee: $195 Instructot(s): Debbie Verkerk, B.A., and Lenox Neher Youth and Conflict: A Skills Development Serles The courses in this series are for counsellors, social workers, child and youth care workers, and other practitioners working with youth in conflict. The train­ ing progresses from managing anger in youth, to resolv­ ing conflict, to teaching young people the necessary skills to resolve problems in a non-conflictual manner. The courses in this series can be taken individually, subject only to the prerequisites listed below. The series need not be completed in any one calendar term. All are electives in the Working with Troubled Adoles­ cents and Conflict Resolution certificate programs.

When responding to these young people, practitioners can find themselves caught in a power struggle, and unintentionally escalate the young person's anger. This course will provide participants with practical skills and strategies to move them out of power struggles so that they can become more effective in understanding, defusing, and confronting angry children and adolescents. Specific attention will be directed toward the dynamics of conflict and anger arousal in the context of an adolescent's development. Skills to manage feelings of anger and defensiveness in conflict situations will be addressed. Participants will have extensive opportunities to observe, apply, and practice specific anger management and problem-solving skills. This course is the foundation for all other titles in this series. (An elective in the Working with Troubled Adolescents and Conflict Resolution certificate programs.) Length: Date(s): Two days March 30-31 July 10-11 (Summer Institute) Fee: $195 Instructor(s): Paula Temrick Working It Out: Resolving Problems and Conflicts with Youth (#CY139) (formerly Problem Solving with Youth) In an effort to resolve conflict and change the behaviour of youths, adults often find themselves engaged in power struggles, lecturing, and telling young people what to do, eventually criticizing, punishing, ignoring, giving in, and, all too often, giving up. In response, youth become resentful, defiant, egocentric, acting-out, and out of control. This workshop is designed to help adults learn how to avoid the trap of power struggles, manage misbehaviour, and work with youth to resolve problems and conflicts. A process of interest-based problem solving will help participants engage a defensive, resistant youth and problem-solve issues where restrictions, limitations, and non-negotlables exist. Participants will also examine alternatives to problem solving; how and when it is appropriate to be directive, con'(;equential, or flexible, or even to avoid an interaction until a'more appropriate time. The objective is to help youth in donflict with adults to develop empathy and the ability to see multiple perspectives, and to collaborate in resolution. Emphasis will be on demonstration, practical application, and skill practice. Participants will be actively involved in structured exercises and role play simulation. A training manual and skill worksheets will be provided. This workshop will be of particular interest to educators, mental health practitioners and counsellors, youth and child care workers, residential care staff, social workers, and probation and correctional officers. Prerequisite(s): #CR720 or equivalent (see above). (An elective in the Working with Troubled Adolescents and Conflict Resolution certificate programs.) Length: Two days Date(s): January 30-31 Fee: $195 Instructor(s): Paula Temrick Mediating Youth in Conflict (#CY122) This workshop provides an opportunity for participants to learn the basic skills of mediating with adolescents in conflict. Participants will learn how to engage .adolescents in a mediation process and how to help them manage their emotions, balance power, and begin to use communication skills effectively. Lecture, skills demonstrations, and small group roleplay sessions will be used to help the participants learn to mediate both "on the spot" and in a more formal context. Especially recommended for group home and residential treatment personnel, counsellors, social workers, correctional officers, and educators working w'ith adolescents. Prerequislte(s): #CR720 or equivalent (see above). A recommended foundational course to Mediating Parent-Teen Conflict (#CY148). (An elective in the Working with Troubled Adolescents and Conflict Resolution certificate programs.) Length: Date(s): Three days February 20-22 August 7-9 (Summer Institute) Fee: $225 Instructor(s): Paula Temrick Mediating Parent-Teen Conflict: Creating Agreements for Change (#CY148) Youth and child care workers, residential care staff, school counsellors, social workers, and probation officers are all in a unique and powerful position to facilitate change in communication patterns and assist in the resolution of conflict between parents and teens. In this course, participants will learn how to act as intermediaries and guide conflicted families through a collaborative problem-solving process. The practical, goal-oriented nature of this intervention is designed to encourage young people to participate in family and individual sessions with a skilled intermediary, and to facilitate the establishment of agreements around such issues as curfews, chores, truancy, and substance abuse. Small group work will be facilitated by skills coaches. Registration priority will be given to participants who have completed Working with Angry and Aggressive Youth (#CR720). Prerequisite(s): #CR720orequivalent(seeabove).

(An elective in the Working with Troubled Adolescents and Conflict Resolution certificate programs.) Length: Three days Date(s): January 23-2S MarchS-10 Fee: $225 InstructoI(s): Paula Temrick Bully-Proofing: Violence Prevention and Assertion Skills Training for Youth (#CY150) Bullying among youth is one of our most neglected, mis­ understood, and unreported problems in schools, homes, and communities. Victims of bullying - teasing, threats, intimidation, exclusion, harassment, harsh pranks, theft, extortion, and physical assault - are frequently left fea.rful, powerless, isolated, feeling at risk, and not knowing how to respond. Saying "no" to bullying and putting a stop to the escalation of youth violence and aggression requires adult protection and intervention. Young people need assertion skills - non-violent alternatives to emotional and physical aggression - and adults need to both make it safe for youth to report bullying and punish bullying by youth. In this course, participants will consider what motivates a young person to bully, what bullies look for in potential victims, indicators that can help identify a youth who has become a victim of bullying, and how to teach youth to recognize and buy out of bullying by modeling safe, asser­ tive responses. Participants will also examine prevention and intervention strategies which can be used to bully-proof and create safe and caring community and school environ­ ments. Of special interest to educators, support staff, youth and family counsellors, residential care staff, and corrections and social services staff, this training will include demon­ stration, practical application, and skills practice through structured exercises and roleplays. A training manual and skill worksheets will be provided. (An elective in the Work­ ing with Troubled Adolescents and Conflict Resolution certificate programs.) Length: Date(s): Three days Aprll 19-21 July 12-14 (Summer Institute) Fee: $225 InstructoI(s): Paula Temrick Engaging Withdrawn and Resistant Youth (#CY720A) Whether expressed verbally or non-verbally, resistance is often motivated by underlying or unmet needs and/or feelings of revenge, mistrust, suspicion, or fear. Practition­ ers working with resistant youth frequently become the target of displaced anger, hurt, or frustration.

(An elective in the Working with Troubled Adolescents and Conflict Resolu­ tion certificate programs.) Length: Two days Date(s): May 11-12 Fee: $195 InstructoI(s): Paula Temrick Facilitating Youth through Problem Solving (#CY139A) When faced with conflict, youth often make impulsive, reactive decisions born out of peer pressure, fear, assump­ tions, and the desire for revenge and retaliation. As a result their problems and conflicts can escalate, and their solutions can work against them. Participants will learn how to help youth think critically and problem-solve to meet their needs in more useful ways. Using interest-based decision making, active listening, and strategic questioning skills, participants will facilitate and guide a conflicted youth through a problem�solving process. The goal is to avoid criticizing and giving advice in helping young people under­ stand their issues and interests, develop empathy and con­ sideration for others, develop options, and create solutions they are able to live with. When critical thinking and prob­ lem-solving skills are encouraged and learned, youth become more confident, more socially and personally responsible, and able to be more independent in making decisions and resolving conflicts with others. This training will empha­ size application of concepts and skills through instructor demonstration, participant involvement in structured exer­ cises, and roleplay skills practice.

Electives The following courses are listed alphabetically by title. The Art of Sett-Disclosure: Winning Yourself a Hearing (#CR813)" Successful conflict resolution and negotiation require clear disclosure of our perceptions, assumptions, and interests. Without our self-disclosure, the other party is likely to become suspicious, aggressive, defensive, or withdrawn. Many people are reluctant to express their interests for fear of appearing too open or naive. The result is that their interests may not receive fair consideration. This course gives participants skills and practice in identifying and articulating their interests; describing circumstances objec­ tively and clearly; and expressing outcomes in assertive, non-blaming ways. Situations involving power imbalances and cultural differences will also be addressed. Prerequi­ site(s): #CRH)() and one other core course. Length: One day (7 hours) Date(s): June 6 $100 Fee: lnstructor(s): Jill Schroder Asserting YourseH Under Pressure (#CR702)* This course is for people who are usually assertive but who sometimes over-react or sell themselves out in difficult conflict encounters, such as when dealing with powerful, aggressive individuals, or in high-risk, high-stake situations. The result is often a diminished relationship or unmet goals. Assertively expressing your needs, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs is essential to improving self-esteem and enhancing 22 Interdisciplinary Studies relationships. It is also a key element in ensuring mutual understanding and respect, especially when strong feelings are involved.

This course focuses on the difficulties that arise because of differences between the needs of the individual and those of the or­ ganization. What prevents an organization from working well for its people? What are the impacts of management style and organizational culture? What are our deep-rooted assumptions about the nature of our organizations and our work? From these questions, the focus shifts to a review of some alternative forms of organizations and strategies for their development. The objectives of this course are to increase the understanding of organizational conflict and to provide options that participants may then apply in their own situations. Length: Two days (14 hours) Date(s): March 29-30 June 19-20 Fee: $205 Instructor(s): Mike Talbot Critical Skills for Communicating in Conflict (#CR735) This course focuses intensively on the mi!=ro-skills essential to effective mediating, negotiating, or resolving of interper­ sonal conflict.

As individuals, colleagues, supervisors, and managers, we are often called upon to give criticism. If done well, it can be an opportun­ ity for growth and increased understanding. If done poor­ ly, it can damage relationships, limit opportunities, and increase stress. In this course, participants will explore and practice the essential elements of giving and receiving constructive criticism. Prerequisite(s): #CRlOO or #CR763.

What is power? How do we relate to it on a daily basis? How do we use personal power and influence in conflict or negotiation situations? What is our basis of power as either mediator or negotiator, and the implica­ tions of use of that power? Through video simulations, self­ reflective exercises, and small group discussions, partici­ pants will feel more comfortable with power dynamics and identify how power can be positively utilized to enhance the dispute resolution process.

Many professionals find themselves the target of hostile or aggressive behaviour as a regular part of their jobs. Dealing with these encounters inevitably requires emotional energy and frequently results in increased stress. This course provides alternatives for constructively managing hostile individuals. Attention is given to risk factors and ensuring personal safety. Participants will have an opportunity to: identify factors that escalate the level of hostility, identify personal responses to hostile behaviour, learn and practice a model.for defusing hostility, and increase skills in constructively confronting problem behaviour.

Before we begin to manage another's behaviour, it is necessary to manage ourselves. This course is designed to isolate and identify our pattern(s) of response in conflict and tense negotiation situations. A variety of self-management mechanisms will be explored. Participants will have an opportunity to apply some of these mechanisms and choose ones that are personally relevant so that their interactions wi.t hothers become more effective.

Working toward interest-based resolutions requires skill in clarifying and understanding the wants, needs, concerns, and fears which support the opposing positions. This skill-building course is designed to help participants reach positive outcomes through a deeper exploration of positions, interests, and intentions. Participants will enhance skills aimed at eliciting underlying interests, illuminating blocks, facilitating processes, establishing positive outcomes, and generating a wider range of choices.

In cross-cultural situations, differences in non-verbal messages have the potential to generate or intensify misunderstanding and conflict. Mixed or misunderstood messages in such circumstances may be confusing, irritating, misleading - and illuminating when clarified! Sharpened awareness of our own and others' non-verbal communication can help us effectively resolve and manage conflicts. This course will expand participants' ability to tune into the fuller messages in conflict situations, including mediations, negotiations, and interpersonal contacts. It will also improve their skills in sending clear, congruent messages. Length: .

Unreasonable demands, attacks, and outbursts are symptomatic of unfinished business which clouds present issues.Judgments prevailing throughout the relationship lock our perceptions of the other and limit the options for resolution, These judgments need to be cleared in order to begin to re-establish trust and build a foundation of co-operation. This course focuses on developing skills for getting past unfinished business by clearing judgments, acknowledging hurt, reducing defensiveness, and working toward a trusting relationship. It focuses on personal and work-related conflicts. PrerequJsite(s): Two core courses. Jtecommended: #CR735.

These courses are not credit courses and do not count toward the required 210 hours of the Conflict Resolution Certificate Program. Assessment Preparation: Mediation (#CR801) and Negotiation (#CR803) These courses provide participants with a comprehensive analysis of their mediation/negotiation work through a review of scripted segments of videotaped roleplay, and responds to questions regarding assessments. Script analysis reveals ineffective response patterns and micro-skill competency gaps, and gives insight into other possible intervention strategies. These courses are recommended for those who have taken Mediation/Negotiation Level II and wish to proceed to the assessments with a clearer focus on where their work needs to be strengthened. There is no instructional component to this course, to allow participants to simulate the assessment experience and reach closure on at least one issue. There are approximately four hours of scripting ho.qiework to be done outside of class. Students will require access to a VCR or audio tape ·deck for this homework.

This shift toward group involvement in solving problems, setting policies, making decisions, and planning events has not always been successful. The process of consensus building has tremendous appeal but is difficult to implement. Its benefits include long-term effectiveness and a deeper and more pervasive commitment to the decisions reached and the actions required. Although elements that lead to consensus are relatively simple to understand, the challenge is to learn to apply the elements effectively. This course is designed to help participants understand the conditions that must exist for consensus decisions to be made, procedures for preparation of the involved parties, process and guidelines to follow while trying to reach a decision, and facilitation skills necessary for reaching consensus.

We need to be aware of how groups function differently from two-party systems ifwe are to be effective group members or leaders.

Length: Two days (14 hours) Date(s): June 12-13 Fee: $205 Instructor(s): Karen Haddigan Mediation Electives Conciliation and Caucusing: Conducting Separate Meetings (#CR807) Separate meetings with the parties in mediation may precede or take the place of joint sessions. They may occur as caucuses during the session or as telephone conversations between sessions. These meetings and conversations are key components of the mediation process and present their own set of challenges. It is essential that the mediator conduct them in an efficient and productive manner while ensuring that his or her impartiality remains intact. In this course, participants will learn to recognize when, how, and under what circumstances it is appropriate to meet individually with the parties, and will practice conciliation and caucusing methods in roleplay simulations with the assistance of skill coaches. Prerequisite(s): #CRlOO or #CR763, #CR300. Length: Two days (14 hours) Date(s): March 9-10 Fee: $205 Instructor(s): Michael Fogel Managing the Emotional Climate (#CR806) One of the crucial tasks of the. mediator is working with the parties to maintain an environment in which they can effectively negotiate with one another. This "climate" is one in which the parties' feelings are respected and, at the same time, are managed so that their emotions do not become either self-destructive or a weapon against each other. Safeguarding this emotional balance is challenging and essential. Participants will have the opportunity to practice interventions that will enable them to help the parties cope more constructively with their own emotions and better understand one another's feelings, and to maintain an environment in which the parties' emotions will contribute to the successful resolution of the conflict. • Prerequislte(s): #CRlOO or#CR763, #CR300, two other courses in the program, plus #CR6o0.

This course explores the theory and dynamics of family systems as a consistent factor in the mediation process. Key mediator tasks include assessing what is happening experientially at the levels of personal belief, feelings, and self-esteem, which strongly influence conflictual positions. This understanding can increase clarity, focus, and speed of resolution by tapping into the issue behind the presenting issue. Through family mapping, sculpting, and role playing, participants will have opportunities to learn to identify their inner signals, and monitor, respect, and work with the effects of family dynamics in the mediation process.
