Dealing with conflict

Learning how to deal with conflict is one of the biggest challenges in life. Recognising the signs early can make a huge difference. 

  • If you start to feel tense, tell people. The bigger you let it become, the harder it is to handle.
  • Violence is ILLEGAL and never fixes anything, it just leaves people feeling hurt and everyone suffers.
  • If things are heating up, walk away, get some fresh air and think about what is important in your life.
  • Talk to people you trust. Dealing with conflict on your own is exhausting and it can be hard to see what is really going on.
  • If your partner says they don't feel great then listen to them, respect their feelings and ask how you can help to make things better. You can't work things out if you don't listen.
