Description
This two-part course covers principles and practices of mediation as a form of alternate dispute resolution. The early session introduces participants to the definition, roles, characteristics, and steps of the mediation process. The second half digs more deeply into skills needed in the steps and includes opportunities for practice. Participants will come away from the course with a better understanding of the value of mediation as a tool for resolving conflict.
Part One | 12:30-2:30 p.m.
After the first half of the course, participants will be able to:
- define mediation and situate it within the conflict continuum
- explain the function and roles of the mediator
- explain the characteristics of constructive mediation
- describe the five stages of the mediation process
- describe and enact skills involved in each stage of the mediation process
- construct appropriate documents for mediation participants
