Conflict and Communication Labs

Join us for the Conflict Resolution and Communication Labs, a hands-on training designed to strengthen your communication and conflict resolution skills. Whether you're looking to navigate everyday conflict more effectively or you're considering becoming a community mediator, this session is a powerful place to begin.

This free, all-day training is brought to you by Pacific County Voices Uniting (PCVU) and facilitated by the Dispute Resolution Center of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties (DRC). You’ll receive practical, real-world resources in a supportive environment where you can learn, connect, and grow. Community Empowerment Sessions are open to all and provide tools that can be applied immediately in personal, workplace, and community settings.

💡 What You’ll Learn in the Morning Lab: Intro to Conflict Resolution

• Why conflict happens, and what to do about it
• How your personal conflict style shapes your interactions

💡 What You’ll Learn in the Afternoon Lab: Interpersonal Communication Lab

• Tools for clear communication and active listening
• How to stay grounded during emotional conversations

What you learn in the morning allows you to dive deeper in the afternoon!

In this training, you'll gain a broader perspective of conflict resolution practices and how they translate into action across different environments.
