- Description
- Conflict resolution skills are essential skills to help to transform the lives of young people whose lives have been uprooted by a predominant culture of violence pervading their communities. May die or are seriously injured daily as territorial wars are waged in correctional institutions. Most of the youths come from violent communities and either experience or are exposed to excessive violence daily. They witness patterns of conflict resolutions that they eventually practice themselves many seldom encounter situations in which alternative approaches to conflict resolution are demostrated.Those who are aware of alternatives have not able to develop the necessary tools to personally implement those altenatives. Bosasa, as a relatively new secure care institution, faces not only an enormous task of avoiding the difficulties that so many correctional institutions have experienced, but also an opportunity denied to other institutions, introducing the life skills education programmes, was an important step towards achieving this goal.The situation is further compounded by the courts and is very uncertain.many of the cases for which these young people have been arrested,however usually take months before sentencing is passed.This creates an ideal opportunity for sustained life skills education intervention and helps the careworker to better understand these youth.
