Families & Politics

10/17/2021 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT

Host Organization: Sonoma County Braver Angels
Partner Org(s): Sebastopol Grange
State/Region: CA
Setting: In-person

Local Focus: San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Family relationships are becoming casualties of our toxic political environment. Family members are having nasty political arguments, avoiding each other, or even cutting off lifetime relationships.

If you want to preserve important family bonds while still being true to your values and political beliefs, this workshop will offer you:

  • Insight into why family differences over politics are uniquely challenging;
  • Recognition of common roles that family members play in political conversations (for example, the Gladiator, the Defender, and the Sniper);
  • Strategies and skills for handling family political differences in a constructive way.

Although the focus is on family relationships, you can use learnings in this workshop with any loved one. You’ll laugh and have some fun in this workshop—it won’t be all serious. After all, we all come from quirky families.

This is a two-part workshop consisting of:

  1. Part one consists of a 40 minute, interactive course. You complete this online before the workshop.
  2. Part two is joining us for the workshop where you will be guided in practicing listening and speaking skills.

** This event is open to the media upon approval. Media contact: Ciaran O’Connor, ciaran@braverangels.org
