Conflict Resolution Center - St. Louis

Have you heard of conflict coaching? It is a service we offer that works a little differently that mediation. In fact, it's an alternative to mediation when you are experiencing conflict, but you are the only party ready or willing to come to the table for mediation.

Conflict coaching is a one-on-one session between someone experiencing conflict and a trained facilitator known as a “coach.” The conflict coach is a neutral, third-party, who does not take sides, give advice, or advocate for any particular course of action. Instead, they work with you to help you gain clarity about the situatin, explore options to navigate the conflict more effectively, and make your own decisions about the dispute. Along the way, you will develop skills that could help you as you move forward after the conflict coaching session.

Start by visiting crcstl.org/conflictcoaching and check out the video of our amazing volunteer, Pastor Denise Belton (a CRCSTL Conflict Coach & Mediator), as she walks you through more about what conflict coaching is and how it might be able to help in your situation.

Earlier this month, CRCSTL Executive Director Wolf Smith led a De-Escalation in your Community Training in Gravois Park. This session focuses on empowering community members to be peaceful centers and de-escalators for their neighbors and fellow citizens.

We included an image from the training showing Wolf in action alongside some of the feedback we got from trainees.
