Description:
When disagreements develop into polarized conflicts, discussion often gives way to shouting matches or icy silence. During this hands-on workshop, participants will explore ways to promote the type of meaningful dialogue that has the power to shift communication and relationships. Participants will learn the key elements of PCP dialogues through the process of designing, facilitating, and de-briefing an extended dialogue simulation.

Continuing Education Credits: The Power of Dialogue trainings are co-sponsored by the Family Institute of Cambridge (FIC) and the Public Conversations Project. FIC is approved to offer continuing education (CE) credits for Psychologists, Social Workers, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, and Marriage and Family Counselors. FIC maintains responsibility for the trainings. Total CE hours eligible: 18.0 per workshop.
