TRAINING

Mediation always happens after a conflict has already happened.  While CMS is always willing to help folks resolve their conflicts, we fundamentally believe that if people were given skills and trained how to use them, we could be proactive in equipping individuals to prevent or resolve conflict before it becomes destructive to relationships.

What We Provide

Basic Mediation Training
A 40-hour training that teaches participants the skills to become active listeners, ask good, curious, open-ended questions and possibly become mediators. Opportunities exist to complete a practicum with an experienced co-mediator.
Cost: $650.00 for those who intend to use their training elsewhere.
Those who volunteer may receive a refund of up to 50% after meeting the volunteer expectations of CMS.

Conflict Resolution Training
These trainings are designed provide conflict resolution skills to the individual who has to serve folks who are frustrated, angry or discouraged because they feel like they are not being heard or understood. 
These trainings can be tailored to meet the needs of the client and may range from a two hour mini-training to eight hours or more as desired.
​Cost: $200 per hour for groups up to 20 participants.
