Any great social skills resources?

[Poppy98]

I've searched the internet but it seems like each skill requires 10's of hours of research. The best answers are generally directly from people, not the internet but noone who is interested knows much about it (so far).


Free resources are the only ones I can use right now, but you can include others for the future and for the benefit of other members.

I live in a very high- conflict situation.

Two classics for conflict management are Crucial Conversations (Greeney & others), and Nonviolent Communication (Rosenberg). Most libraries have both, or can inter-library loan them. They aren't going to solve every problem... some situations are endemic. But I've found these to be helpful taking the sharp edge off situations.
