Workshop 9: Physically Safe Conflict Resolution: A Bias-Resistant Approach
Physical safety is important and often overlooked by conflict resolution practitioners due to an assumption that litigants who want to resolve their issues outside of court are less likely to experience family violence. Conflict resolvers need to plan for safety, establish their boundaries and contingencies in advance, and be aware of how biases present during in-the-moment reactions may undermine practical and higher-level safety considerations. Join a panel of conflict resolution professionals to explore important guidelines for eliminating biases and promoting safety during dispute resolution processes.
