Multisession Practice Group: Interpersonal Conflict Resolution (Monday, April 13, 2026)

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Presented by Dr. Borislava Manojlovic

Introducing our first multisession practice group!

The Interpersonal Conflict Resolution Practice Group aims to equip participants with practical skills for resolving conflicts in everyday life and interpersonal relationships. Each session will introduce different conflict resolution topics, followed by hands-on exercises, simulations, and skill-building activities. By the end of the program, participants will have developed a personalized toolkit for managing conflicts more effectively in their everyday lives.

Registrants are expected to attend all five sessions. The registration price is inclusive of all sessions.

These practice group sessions are interactive and a safe space for questions and honest feedback; registration will be capped at 25 participants and sessions will not be recorded.
