STORY SEARCH

Do you have the courage to talk openly with a friend or loved one about things you don't agree on? Would it help if you had the guidance of a skilled therapist and mediator? We believe sharing this proven experience with others can help bridge divides across the nation.

We are seeking individuals who have experienced a breakdown in communication with a loved one, friend, or family member due to political or social differences. Applicants should be willing to be part of a process that teaches them how to speak and listen to someone they disagree with in a constructive manner. The goal is to gain empathy and understanding for the other person, all while learning tools and techniques to better navigate the more difficult or painful parts of this process.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Have a personal relationship with someone they no longer speak to due to political or social differences, and believe this person could also be interested in this process.

• Be willing to participate in a program that will teach them how to communicate effectively with someone they disagree with

• Be available for filming for a period of 3-4 days

• Be over the age of 18
