At a time when so much of our public discourse is aggressive and bitterly divisive, PCP (est. 1989) has taken the opposite tack: to bring to the public sector conflict-transforming methods developed by family therapists, aiming to foster fresh thinking, mutual understanding and collaboration. For example, PCP facilitated a six-year off-the-record dialogue between three pro-life and three pro-choice leaders following a deadly 1994 assault on two Boston-area clinics, which resulted in successful joint efforts to prevent divisive demonstrations, reduce inflammatory public rhetoric and positively influence national media coverage. PCP led PBS’s Islam Project to foster greater understanding and cooperation between Muslims and other faiths following Sept. 11. It has also worked with local governments struggling with race issues, cultural institutions trying to engage diverse audiences, and religious organizations divided over same-sex marriage. Thousands of people in more than 15 countries have used its leadership training programs, and many major media outlets have cited its research and expertise. Only 12% of its income is derived from service fees, because most of its clients who badly need PCP’s help cannot afford it. PCP therefore heavily relies on public donations. Don’t we all want a more peaceful and positive civil discourse? If you care about this, please help.
