The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

Stop, Think, Make a Good Choice - Conflict
This visual explains what we should do when we are experiencing a conflict.
When there is a conflict, I will...
1. Stop
Use calming strategies - such as taking deep breaths or counting to 10.
2. Think
What are my choices?
Is my choice safe?
Is my choice fair to everyone?
Does my choice help solve the problem?
3. Make a good choice
Compromise.
Set boundaries.
Use an "I" statement.
Let it go.
