Conflict Resolution Day!

Hawai`i State Judiciary MPR 101 417 S King St, Honolulu

Conflict Resolution Day was conceived in 2005 by ACR to: Promote awareness of mediation, arbitration, conciliation and other creative, peaceful means of resolving conflict; Promote the use of conflict resolution in schools, families, businesses, communities, governments and the legal system; Recognize the significant contributions of (peaceful) conflict resolvers; Obtain national synergy by having celebrations happen across the country and around the world on the same day. October has become a time to promote and celebrate peaceful conflict resolution practices worldwide. Dedicated dispute resolution practitioners are helping to educate the public about mediation and other innovative conflict management processes. The ABA declared the third week of October, “ABA Mediation Week,” in part building on the efforts of many other national, state, and local organizations, including the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR) which have been celebrating conflict resolution during the month of October. The ABA and ACR, as well as numerous other organizations, are working to raise awareness of the importance of mediation and conflict resolution.

5:1 Kindness Challenge Starts!

This challenge is dedicated to mediators, arbitrators, facilitators, and all conflict resolution practitioners and peacebuilders throughout Hawaiʻi in acknowledgement of Conflict Resolution Day, October 17, 2019, celebrated annually on the third Thursday of October. What separates healthy and happy relationships from miserable ones is a balance of positive to negative interactions. Studies in the field of social psychology  show that it takes five positive interactions to make up for every one bad encounter you have with someone. It is called the 5:1 Magic Ratio. Think of it as a simple formula for building healthy relationships (at home or at work). Click here to find out how this challenge works.
