Don't let your group get caught up in the blaming. As the group matures, members come to understand that they need information and facts to make informed decisions. People in this phase are interested in providing better and earlier intervention and treatment services. During this phase, the group is concerned about the quality of life in the community. Members can clearly identify objectives and actions - planned prevention efforts that will benefit the whole community.
Different people use different strategies for managing conflicts.
These strategies are learned early in life and seem to function automatically. Yet, we do have a personal strategy, and because it was learned, we can always change it by learning new and more effective ways of managing conflicts. When one becomes engaged in a conflict, two major concerns need to be taken into account. First, personal goals have come into conflict with the personal goals of another. Second, a good relationship needs to be maintained with the person with whom one is in conflict.
