Course Curriculum

Why Teen Conflict Feels So Intense

The First Five Minutes
A step-by-step start: safety checks, language that lowers threat, quick separation without shame, and re-framing the scene.

From Positions to Interests
Move teens from “I’m right” to “what matters.” Translate headlines into needs so solutions appear.

Running a Mediation Step by Step
The full process: pre-meets, opening statements, issue listing, option building, agreements, and when to pause.

Restorative Conversations in Practice
Repair without humiliation. Centring impact, naming needs, building proportional, trackable actions, and reintegration.

Culture, Power, and Bias
How status, identity, and online spillover shape conflict. Name dynamics cleanly and keep safety a rights issue

Neurodiversity, SEND, and Trauma-Informed Adjustments
Calibrate for sensory load, processing time, PDA/ADHD profiles, and shutdown/meltdown — fairness through adaptation.

Boundaries, Documentation, and Follow-Up
Clear lines, minimal records, re-entry plans, and short check-ins that turn agreements into habits.
