IN CASE OF CONFLICT
INITIAL RESPONSE
On the surface, conflict is not a problem. If two or more members disagree about something, you can feel out the situation to decide if you need to intervene.
If it feels appropriate to intervene, you have a few options
Engage directly with the members with a third perspective on the situation
Pose a new conversation question to move away from the conflict. If you choose this route, acknowledge the conflict before moving on to ensure everyone feels heard
If you do this, follow up after group with the members who had been in the conflict to check in and see how they are doing
ESCALATION
If a situation is unresolved after group and you don't feel like it's within your purview to solve it, let Sarah know and she will intervene.
