The Temperance Toolbox

Conflict Resolution Flowchart

Answer a few questions and get a specific next step for the conflict you are dealing with. This is a Practice the Skills tool, the P in the TEMP Method.

Before you begin: Ordinary conflict resolution strategies may be inappropriate or unsafe if your situation involves abuse, violence, threats, stalking, intimidation, coercive control, or fear of retaliation. This tool screens for that first. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 now.

"If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men."

Romans 12:18

The verse carries two limits: peace is not always possible, and it does not rest on you alone. This tool works inside those limits, including the point where the right next step is to stop.
