Conflict is defined as "a serious disagreement or argument between two or more people." Conflict can be stressful, but there are quite a few ways to resolve differences. While it may seem difficult, learning to resolve differences, also known as "conflict resolution", can be very valuable for anyone looking to prevent fights, stop arguments, and even bring together people who were once thought to be enemies.

There will be many times in life where you will disagree with someone else, which can lead to conflict. Learning how to resolve conflicts takes time and patience, but the skills you’ll learn can help to make a friendlier and more well-connected world. On YouTube, we found a short video from the channel KPR Schools, explaining the right and wrong ways to resolve conflict.
It's not always easy to deal with conflicts, especially a conflict that you are involved with personally. Things may get heated, and you or someone else might say something hurtful out of anger or frustration. There are several tips you can use to avoid this happening during arguments/conflicts. On the website El Centro Hispanico, we found a whole bunch of tips showcasing different ways youth can resolve most conflicts.
Our last resource for this week is all about having fun while avoiding any conflict, and also learning about others. VitalLearning.com created a list of 6 games for office coworkers (or anyone who wants to learn about conflict) who wish to learn about conflict resolution. These games range from the simple to the complex, but each and every one of them is fun first, so that everyone can have a good time learning about our similarities and differences.
Note: On June 22nd, there will not be a Youth Chat meeting due to a conference in Philadelphia. Of course, we'll resume the Youth Chat on Wednesday, June 29th.
Bonus Resource: New Jersey Partners in Policymaking is a leadership development and advocacy education program for adults with developmental disabilities (over age 21) and family members of young children and transition age youth available through collaboration between The New Jersey Council on Developmental Disabilities, The Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities, and Disability Rights New Jersey. The goal of this program is to prepare the next generation of disability advocates to work toward meaningful change in our state.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to bring some uncertainty. The 2022-2023 Partners in Policymaking sessions are currently scheduled to take place using a hybrid model which combines in-person and virtual learning. A fully virtual option for those that are immunocompromised or have an immunocompromised family member that prevents in-person participation will be made available.
