viaSport is proud to re-launch the PlaySafe BC Conflict Management and Effective Communication Training Program again in 2024.
This year, we’re offering two different versions of this training: our original Conflict Management and Effective Communication Training and our advanced Conflict Management and Effective Communication Training.

Participants will leave feeling confident in anticipating, recognizing, addressing and preventing conflict using direct communication.

After the session, participants will be confident in managing difficult situations using communication, negotiation and mediation skills.
