Conflict is a fact of life.  Understanding that it is bound to happen is important but how conflict is handled is really what matters most.  Conflict Solutions, LLC understands that most people want to live and work with less conflict - whether it is those daily annoyances or the bigger, more complex issues - but just don't have the time to figure out how to resolve it all.  

 

 

Our Mission

To develop and implement interest-based programs that help families, schools and communities collaborate and communicate in ways that promote academic success.

 

 

Company Profile

Conflict Solutions, LLC is dedicated to improving education systems through the use of positive and creative conflict resolution.  Our programs are interest-based meaning we always learn about our clients current methods and systems and take these into account when designing a new program.

We have implemented programs in the following school districts in South Carolina: Lexington/Richland 5, Richland 1 and 2, Darlington, Chester and Berkeley.  If you are in another state and are interested in our work, please contact us as the programs are transferable to other states.

This experience, combined with her graduate work in conflict resolution, inspired her to design, develop, and implement programs to improve and enhance the academic opportunities of our youth.  Mary Ann has devoted five years researching, developing, and implementing the highly successful Truancy Mediation Program.  She has extensive experience in program design, implementation, analysis, and evaluation. She is a certified mediator and facilitator with over 150 hours of training experience.
