Mission: The mission of the Conflict Center is to reduce levels of physical, verbal and emotional violence, teaching practical, nonviolent methods for dealing with conflict and anger. Founded in Colorado in 1987, the organization works with individuals and groups in a variety of settings, involving them in exercises that teach communication skills, consequences, negotiation, values clarification, win-win outcomes, and problem-solving skills. Our three major program areas are school programs, organizations (including business, neighborhoods, congregations, and families), and youth at risk. We teach conflict management, anger management, and parenting. We apply three processes for individuals and groups in conflict: facilitation, mediation, and negotiation. We provide services based on a sliding fee scale and are committed to providing 50% of services to people in poverty.
