Safe Conversations: The Language of Peace in Liberia
Liberia is a post-war, extremely fragile democracy and it is facing one of the most challenging chapters of its nearly 200 years of existence. The population has become more and more polarized and opportunities for advancement (personal and professional) seem vague and unattainable. Foundation for Women (FFW) has provided micro-finance, health and housing and education support in Liberia since 2007 and have long sought the elusive “glue” that binds these services; a methodology or approach that will help rebuild Liberia’s culture through its most valued asset, its resilient, hopeful people. Safe Conversations is that methodology. Founded by renowned American authors and relationship scientists, Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Safe Conversations is a step-by-step process for talking and listening that creates connection between people even when difference is dividing them. It is delivered in an interactive workshop for people no matter their literacy rate or level, their role or relationship. It is an empowering skillset that will elevate people professionally and educationally. Learn more.
