Coping with Conflict Lisa Jestis is the Counselor at NWH and is currently working with each grade level with topics which are very real in their everyday encounters with other students.
Conflict is a part of everyday living.
Since all people are different, conflicts will occur. All conflicts, however, cannot be resolved. Therefore, it is important to teach students to manage conflicts. This means working toward a resolution but also accenting that all conflicts cannot and will not be resolved through any effort. Thus, it is important to teach students that while conflicts cannot be resolved that they can be peacefully managed.
