Alternative Approaches to Resolving Conflict in Churches, Religious Organizations, Nonprofits, Schools and Community Groups: What Papa & Roberts Can Do to Help

Conflict in our communities can be costly and painful experiences. Mediation services and conflict resolution training are excellent methods for resolving conflict in a respectful and positive way. The professionals of Papa & Roberts, PLLC offer cutting edge mediation and conflict resolution training services for churches, synagogues, neighborhood associations, schools, nonprofits and other community groups to help these organizations function more smoothly, move through conflict with grace and ease and resume focus on the mission of their organization by dealing with conflict effectively and efficiently. Our professionals can assist organizations and community groups in a wide variety of settings, both large and small groups, to resolve conflict.

Conflict within religious, neighborhood and other communities can be particularly painful. Statistics show that approximately 80% of a minister or religious leader's time is spent managing conflict, though many of these leaders have never received any type of conflict resolution training. Papa & Roberts offers mediation services to help your church, synagogue, or other religious or community organization understand and resolve your conflict so that your community can begin moving toward healing and peace. We also train internal, congregational mediators who can volunteer to help resolve conflict both internal and external to your organization. These services can also be extremely beneficial for easing pastoral or organization leader transition or other internal organization change.

At Papa & Roberts, we also provide mediation and conflict resolution training and facilitation services to resolve disagreements and disputes related to land use and property, including neighbor, community association and zoning disputes as well as landlord/tenant and other property-related disagreements.

Our mediators can assist your school with the various forms of conflict that can arise in schools and educational settings, such as bullying, disputes between parents and teachers or administrators, conflict among teachers, faculty groups and administration and disagreements related to special education. Our Papa & Roberts mediators and expert conflict resolution consultants are trained to assist your church, synagogue, community group, or nonprofit organization in creating effective conflict management systems that resolve, prevent and minimize conflict. Each Papa & Roberts training offering or conflict management system design is created to meet your specific needs and the needs of your organization or community group. If your organization is experiencing high turnover, damaged reputation, loss of member support, frequent conflict between members, or discontent between members and organization leaders, call Papa & Roberts for information on how we can help you create greater harmony and effective communication among your organization's members and leaders alike. Papa & Roberts expert conflict resolution consultants are also available to train members of your organization to resolve conflict that arises in the future. Congregational mediation teams; internal, peer mediators; neighborhood mediation leaders; and, volunteers or members trained in core conflict resolution competencies can be a tremendous resource for your organization.
