Each of us with our words and actions has the power to transform a conflict into a win-win solution.
This Transforming Power is at the heart of AVP.
The workshops train us to tap in to this potential and to practice it when we need it desperately.
Participants in each level of AVP workshops learn how to use these many skills to transform conflict and their lives.
