Conflict Resolution Center
Have you been stressed by problems related to your roommate, fellow student, significant other, noise, ethnic and life-style tensions, family disputes, student/faculty conflicts or other interpersonal problems?
CONFLICT HURTS, BUT . . . we believe working though it in a neutral, comfortable and safe environment strengthens relationships greatly. You don’t have to keep fighting, hiding or give up!
We Can Help
The CRRC at Guilford College offers an effective approach to resolving conflicts that inevitably occur among people living in a close community. Our style of conflict resolution is compatible with the Quaker tradition of understanding, listening and cooperation.
The Kinds of Services & Activities We Provide
- CRRC speakers for groups such as classes, residence hall gatherings and student organizations to provide educational programs related to conflict management.
- expert advice on how you can resolve conflicts yourself.
- facilitation services for running tough meetings in your own organization or between organizations.
- Mediation for interpersonal conflict.
- Mediation for groups or committees working on policy issues.
The Center is…
- a safe environment to resolve conflicts
