The WDRC offers strength-based training designed to provide conflict resolution, communication, problem-solving, and de-escalation skills to youth. Students learn to recognize the root of conflict, strategies for resolving conflict, individual triggers, and physiological responses to anger. In our workshops, youth get the chance to practice active listening techniques, assertive speaking, and collaborative problem-solving skills. At the high school level, our trainings address the social context of violence including gender expectations, stereotypes, power and control, and how to be an ally. Our trainings are designed to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of individual students. The following trainings are offered in partnership with local schools, community agencies, and juvenile court and can be tailored to address additional topics based on your needs. The WDRC Youth Program has been providing workshops in K-12 schools, Juvenile Justice, and community settings since 2001. Our primary workshops are Healthy Choices (for girls grades 5-12), Facing Conflict (for boys grades 5-12), and Dealing with Conflict (for youth grades 5-12).
