Our Services
Not sure what you need? Come in for a consultation.
If you're dealing with a conflict and not sure what kind of support you need (or if you need any at all), a consultation is the place to start. In a consultation, you can choose to meet with either a staff or student specialist from the office, virtually or in-person. Your meeting is private, non-committal, and tailored to whatever you want to talk about. You can learn and ask questions about CRE services and supports with full freedom to decide what you want to do.
Coaching
Want to talk about how to approach a difficult conversation? Looking for an outside person who can shed perspective, offer expertise, and help you think about options?
We can help you gameplan for whatever challenges you’re facing. Some people come in for a quick chat, others prefer a longer time to share. You can schedule one meeting with us when you really need it, or come in regularly for ongoing support. These meetings are also available for those looking to improve their conflict skills proactively.
Common reasons people meet with us for coaching:
- Talk about a challenging situation going on in a student org, friend group, or living situation
- Process an intense conversation and get an outside perspective
- Ask questions about what do to in a specific conflict scenario
- Learn about the options that exist for resolving an issue
- Consider how or if to bring up an issue to someone without making it worse
Facilitated Conversations & Mediation
Sometimes, the emotions and intensity of conflict make it difficult to have the conversation we want and need to have. Our specialists are trained to facilitate conversations that support everyone involved, get at the root of the issues, and promote collaboration to resolve problems. All facilitated processes begin with an intro meeting to connect, understand the needs of the situation, discuss facilitated options, and collaboratively determine the best next steps.
