Conflict management and prevention program in schools in the implementation of a health promotion office

Abstract

The presence of conflicts is inevitable, and in many cases it can be forward-looking. However, their treatment presents many challenges. The problem-solving strategies brought from the family and their applications work well in the majority of cases, however, today’s rapidly changing world also presents new challenges (e.g. cyberbullying) that require new ways of coping. Educational institutions have a special role in introducing effective conflict management techniques to students, however, this work is often done in an ad hoc and unorganized manner. Below we present why inefficient conflict management becomes a problem. Furthermore, we describe the intervention planned and implemented by the staff of the Nyíregyháza district with the Health Promotion of Nyíregyháza Office operating within the Health Promotion Department of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County Hospitals and University Teaching Hospital, which, through a prevention program, was implemented in the public education institutions of the district with efficiency that requires special attention in practical work.
