Why Consider Mediation Training?
Conflict is a normal part of every day life. Mediation is a highly effective and mutually satisfying way to resolve conflicts. Our trainings offers educators, community leaders, counselors, human resources staff, customer service personnel, supervisors, managers, parents, teens, and you an opportunity to develop conflict resolution and mediation skills.
What Can I Expect at the Training?
The courses are a fun and highly interactive mixture of lecture, discussion, demonstration and participant role-playing with instructor and peer feedback. The trainings are designed to acquaint adult learners with the philosophy, concepts, model and skills needed to have a working knowledge of the role of a third party neutral mediator. These skills are highly transferable, improving communication and enhancing relationships at home, in the workplace, and in the community at large. Advanced trainings, including Multi-party Mediation and Family Mediation, are offered to enhance the skills of people who have completed the 40-Hour Professional Mediation Training. What Will I learn? Who Are the Trainers?
Our trainers are senior mediators and conflict resolution educators with diverse interests and areas of expertise. All bring their passion about mediation and its potential for contributing to positive change in our lives and communities. |
