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.
