FREE Workshop: Resolving Conflict Constructively:
Overview of a practical conflict resolution model, with application to disputes arising in the context of the climate crisis
Tuesday 25 October 7.00-9.00pm AEDT

Another great offering from our friends at Psychologists for Peace to add to your Spring Carnival of free and low-cost CPD options for community psychologists, registrars and provisional psychologists/postgrad students. It's worth noting that conflict resolution is a core competency for anyone seeking AHPRA endorsement in community psychology as an area of practice. If it hasn't been specifically covered thus far in your pre-professional training, placements, registrar program or ongoing CPD, here's your chance to learn from two of the best in the business 🙂

Presenters:

The workshop will be facilitated by members and affiliates of Psychologists for Peace, including:

Dr.  Eleanor Wertheim, Emeritus Professor, School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University, author of Skills for Resolving Conflict.  She has a long history of teaching and researching conflict resolution concepts and skills at university and community levels, as well as training United Nations middle to senior level substantive staff and diplomats, with a focus on addressing interpersonal, community and international level disputes.

Dr Susie Burke, Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Queensland. She is a psychologist, therapist and climate activist with a special interest in the role that psychology plays in helping us understand the causes, impacts and solutions to climate change and is co-author of the Climate Change Empowerment Handbook (APS).  She works in private practice, consulting to organisations, and running workshops and individual sessions to help people come to terms with climate change, has taught conflict resolution and negotiation skills and regularly consults as a mediator and group facilitator for groups using interest-based conflict resolution techniques.

This interactive online workshop will be useful for anyone interested in enhancing their skills for resolving conflict constructively, at the interpersonal, intergroup or community levels. We will show participants how to identify the relevant parties in a conflict, the issues involved, the positions taken by each party, the interests underlying these positions, and how to build win-win solutions and address challenges to the process.

Climate change can create conflicts at many levels.  Examples of such conflicts will be used to illustrate the conflict resolution process. Individuals and groups who are working to address the climate crisis will therefore find the workshop useful in developing their understanding and skills for approaching similar conflicts.

Tackling Australia's most challenging health problem: Identifying, prescribing, and unlocking the social cure

If you are over 50 and you join one social group today you will cut your risk of being diagnosed with depression in the next two years by 24%. With every group membership that that you join after retirement, your quality of life increases by 10%, and your life expectancy increases by about 3%. Group life is an important determinant of well-being and health, yet its importance is rarely discussed, and far less explained.

This session will explain how groups exert a profound impact on our psychology and health through their capacity to be internalized within the self as part of our social identity (a sense of the self as ‘we' and ‘us', not just ‘me' and ‘I'). It will show that when this occurs, groups are a gateway not only to social support but also to a sense of meaning, belonging, purpose, and agency - factors that in turn have powerful consequences for our psychological and social functioning. They also play a key role in tackling epidemics of anxiety and loneliness that are a scourge of contemporary Western society. Prof Haslam discusses how these ideas can be translated into practice through targeted social prescribing and a novel theory-derived intervention: Groups 4 Health.

And then there's November...
D) Wellness, Fairness, and Worthiness: Psychosocial Foundations for the Common Good

Professor Isaac Prilleltensky (University of Miami, USA)

Webinar Tuesday 8 November 2022, 12 noon - 1.30pm AEDT (to allow for the US time difference)

1.50 CPD Hours APS College CPD | Event number: 23329

While behavioral and health sciences have mainly been concerned with the private good, there is an urgent need to understand and foster the collective good. Without a coherent framework for the common good, it will be extremely difficult to prevent and manage crises such as pandemics, illness, climate change, poverty, discrimination, injustice, and inequality, all of which affect marginalized populations disproportionally. While frameworks for personal well-being abound in psychology, psychiatry and counselling, conceptualizations of collective well-being are scarce. Our search for foundations of the common good resulted in the identification of three psychosocial goods: wellness, fairness, and worthiness, which concurrently advance personal, relational, and collective value. They also represent basic human motivations, have considerable explanatory power, exist at multiple ecological levels, and have significant transformative potential. Prof Prilleltensky will use empirical evidence to show how justice leads to experiences of worthiness, which enhances wellness.
