Successful ATOD abuse prevention systems promote community ownership, inclusion,
and participation. Conflict is bound to emerge with this approach to prevention
because people with diverse views and perspectives are encouraged to participate
in group processes such as planning, problem solving, and decision making.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide partnership members with an
opportunity to learn negotiation and conflict management techniques.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
Identify at least 3 characteristics of conflict and 3 characteristics of
collaboration.
Describe the 3 phases of a negotiation strategy.
Apply the negotiation strategy to a simulated conflict within a partnership.
Name 4 guidelines for negotiating and explain how they could be used to
resolve conflicts.
Linkages with Preceding and Following Sections
Conflict and negotiation is related to many units throughout the Institute.
In particular it may be helpful in areas related to the sessions on valuing
cultural diversity and community mobilization.
