Description: This manual, developed at the University of Kentucky, is a train-the-trainers tool that can be used to help Extension educators, community officials, and citizen leaders identify, understand, manage, and when possible and desirable, resolve conflicts within their own communities. The materials and training sessions are resources and guides, and are not intended to be taken as a map on how to educate people to deal with conflict. The manual and training includes 15 units and covers concepts and skills that participants can adapt to meet the needs of their constituency. After completion, participants should understand difference sources and forms of conflict and concrete skills for addressing conflict.
