Elements of Mediation
Mediation + Communication Training
Elements of Mediation is a two-day intensive workshop that dives into the basic theory and skills of facilitative mediation. This training covers Creative Mediation’s core curriculum modules – including effective communication, the roots of conflict, mediation facilitation and design, ethics and limits, and negotiation dynamics. The evening prior, we host an informal Meet and Greet gathering at the Wilshire Community Services’ office as an opportunity to meet the trainers, other trainees, and current volunteer mediators.
Who should attend?
The two-day Elements course is meant for anyone interested in learning the basic foundations of conflict resolution and mediation skills and theory. Successful participants include working or retired professionals, students, or anyone interested in learning to think like a mediator. Those wanting certification will move on toward completing the Conflict Resolution and Mediation Skills Certification program
Participants may be considering second career options, community volunteer opportunities, or any number of other challenges that demand the intellect, creativity, and interpersonal skills of mediation.
When is this training offered?
The trainings are offered annually in early April and early October.
Tuition is $399.00 per person. Continental Breakfast and lunch are included.
