Conflict Resolution
Building Stronger Communities Through Connection
Conflict is a natural part of life, but it doesn't have to be destructive. With skilled mediation and the right approach, disagreements can become opportunities for deeper understanding and positive change.
Our Approach: Non Violent Communication
At Rehumanise, we use the Non Violent Communication (NVC) model for conflict resolution. This proven approach helps all parties:
Express their needs and concerns clearly and respectfully
Listen to understand rather than to respond
Move beyond positions to discover underlying needs
Find solutions that respect everyone involved
Our Services
School-Parent Mediation: We work with schools to mediate disputes between educational institutions and parents, helping restore trust and communication when relationships have become strained. Our approach creates a safe space where all voices are heard and collaborative solutions can emerge.
Organisational Conflict Resolution: Workplace conflicts, team tensions, and organisational disputes can impact wellbeing and productivity. We provide skilled mediation to help colleagues, teams, and stakeholders find constructive ways forward.
Community Mediation: For conflicts arising in community settings, we offer impartial mediation services that help neighbours, community groups, and organisations resolve disputes respectfully.
Why Mediation Works
Unlike adversarial approaches, mediation:
Preserves relationships
Addresses underlying needs, not just surface-level positions
Creates solutions all parties can support
Empowers people to communicate more effectively in future
Costs less in time, money, and emotional energy than formal proceedings
What to Expect
In mediation sessions, we create a structured, safe environment where all parties can:
Share their perspective without interruption
Feel genuinely heard and understood
Explore options collaboratively
Work towards agreements that respect everyone's needs
As mediators, we remain impartial, guiding the process while the parties themselves shape the outcome.
Schools and Educational Settings
We're currently working with schools in Leeds to support staff mental health and mediate school-parent disputes. We understand the unique pressures educational settings face and the importance of maintaining positive relationships between schools and families.
Accessibility
We're committed to making conflict resolution services accessible to all communities, particularly those who may have faced barriers to such support historically.
