introduction
“Having Difficult Conversations,” introduces students to the practical tool of “I” statements. Students will explore how “I” statements help in navigating and repairing relationships through evidence-based communication strategies. Key practices introduced include using “I” statements to express feelings without blame, and mindful dialogue within conflict mending circles. The goal is to transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper understanding and stronger connections by creating a space for participants to share their experiences and work towards reconciliation.
