Handling Disagreements: Strategies for navigating difficult conversations

July 2 @ 5:00 pm 6:30 pm

This engaging workshop is designed to provide Autistic and other neurodivergent individuals with opportunities to reflect on the causes of, and to develop tools to effectively address, disagreements.

In this session, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Reflect on how confident you feel at both the beginning and end of the session
  • Learn the difference between disagreement and conflict through realistic, scenario-based examples
  • Brainstorm with others how emotions are connected to disagreements and conflict
  • Explore practical strategies for resolving disagreements.

Our hope is that participants will experience an increase in their confidence when dealing with future disagreements.

Please note: There will be an interactive component to this session and participants will need some sort of wi-fi enabled device (smartphone, tablet, or laptop) to access Slido.
