Become A DRC

Training
Each year, the DRC trains over 700 community members in skills to help manage conflict with greater ease and understanding and to communicate effectively.
|
Students walk away with a variety of skills and tools, active listening, identifying common ground, and uncovering unspoken needs in the heat of conflict.
|
Some training participants go on to become mediators with the DRC. Others take these skills back to improve their workplaces, homes, and communities.

Wow! It is so rewarding to hear staff continuing to buzz about last night’s training! When I began my search to find an experiential training that combined “dealing with difficult customers” and “assertiveness,” I was a bit discouraged. After speaking with you, I felt confident you understood our needs. What you delivered exceeded our expectations – I believe all staff, regardless of their position or years of experience, came away from the training feeling more enlightened, positive and empowered! Thank you! Thank you!
