Essential Problem Solving Skills

With the skills learned in the MMP Essential Problem Solving Skills ("EPSS") training workshop, participants will have enhanced abilities to:

• evaluate situations from differing but equally significant perspectives;

• identify and effectively express their goals based upon underlying needs, interests and values;

• use effective communication skills, including active listening and reframing;

• explore, identify and implement the use of available community resources in addressing issues of conflict;

• apply inherent regional and cultural negotiation skills/styles in ways that support collaborative and effective communication of interests;

• identify and evaluate potential outcomes as tools for critical decision-making.
