<br />MEDIATION SERVICES OFFERS
<br />A WIN/WIN SOLUTION
<br />
<br />MEDIATION SERVICES for Anoka County finds that many
<br />people equate conflict with win/lose situations. Can conflict
<br />be associated with positive win/win results? MEDIATION
<br />SERVICES offers the following statements about conflict.
<br />Which reflects your feelings and beliefs about conflict?
<br />1. Conflict has the potential for creating understanding.
<br />2. Conflict provides the context for change and is often the
<br />necessary catalyst.
<br />3. Conflict is a normal and healthy part of life.
<br />4. Conflict generates energy and creativity.
<br />5. Conflict provides the opportunity for resolution of
<br />problems.
<br />The term "conflict" is used to represent the inevitable
<br />misunderstandings, differences of opinion and problems
<br />associated with everday life among family members, friends,
<br />business associates and groups of people who regularly in-
<br />teract. It is not intended to refer to dangerous or abusive
<br />situations.
<br />Talking about the conflict in specific terms produces the
<br />potential for understanding the issues and people involved.
<br />Talking about the interests underlying the conflict provides
<br />the opportunity for resolution. Conflict is a normal part of
<br />life and differences of opinion. Exciting changes and oppor-
<br />tunities for growth come out of a healthy expression and
<br />interchange of ideas and feelings.
<br />MEDIATION SERVICES offers a process and structure
<br />for working through conflict and concerns in a safe environ-
<br />ment. Resolve a conflict facing you with a landlord or te-
<br />nant, business or consumer friend, or family member. Our
<br />service is free and mediation has worked for many people
<br />in Anoka County. Call 755-5300 and talk to Ann Wallerstedt,
<br />Executive Director, today.
