neighbour disputes and community conflicts
Neighbours and groups of people living together in communities such as streets and blocks of flats may experience problems or disputes that could easily be helped through the use of conflict transformation techniques. Conflicts can be caused by misunderstandings, people having different lifestyles or expectations of each other, and many people don't even realise that what they are doing is affecting others.
When people find it difficult to communicate with each other over issues, mediation or conflict coaching can help. It is less stressful, quicker and less costly than legal action and can improve relationships so that everyone can live together more comfortably.
