Lateral violence occurs when harmful behaviours we experience show up in our interactions with our families, communities and organizations. It is expressed in many forms including lack of trust, favoritism and poor communication – these issues typically lead to conflict between individuals or within an entire group. Moving beyond the cycle of lateral violence begins with people becoming aware of its causes and impacts. This workshop will teach participants to understand the dynamics of lateral violence and how to work towards solutions for prevention by developing a better personal awareness and enhancing communication and conflict resolution skills.
