Family relationships can be casualties of a toxic political environment, making holiday gatherings places where bitter political arguments take place and family divisions grow worse. This workshop offers a chance to gain a deeper understanding of why family differences over politics are uniquely challenging and teaches strategies and skills for dealing with family political differences in a constructive way. Braver Angels is a nonprofit organization with a mission to bring Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic.
