Dealing with Difficult People workshop

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Supportive relationships are good for our mental and physical health.
However, dealing with chronically "difficult" people and maintaining ongoing negative relationships can actually be detrimental to our health.
The toll of the stress can affect us emotionally and physically.
Because of this, it’s a good idea to diminish or eliminate relationships that are filled with conflict whenever possible.
But what do you do if the person in question is a family member, co-worker, or someone you otherwise can’t easily eliminate from your life?
To answer your questions, please join Nikki Zanchi, BED(Hons), DipCouns
