The Advanced (Level 2) Workshop focuses on the underlying causes of violence, both in ourselves and in the world around us, such as fear, anger, and power. In this fun, interactive workshop we explore deeper ways to resolve conflicts, including assertiveness and forgiveness.
Participants must have completed an AVP Basic Workshop. Participants who complete this workshop qualify for the next level workshop, where you can train to be an AVP facilitator and bring these skills to your own community or workplace.
