Recruiting and Training

 Mediation is a structured process in which people in conflict meet with a neutral third-party to resolve conflicts. An alternative to the court process, mediation offers a respectful, non-adversarial, and flexible way to settle disputes. The CBDRC provides affordable and professional mediation services as well as education and training programs in mediation, communication skills, and conflict resolution.

Whether you want to become a professional mediator or simply learn more about collaborative dispute resolution, we can help you reach your goals at a reasonable cost. Many of those attending our Mediation Training are not interested in being mediators, but come to learn these skills and strategies to apply to their workplace or their personal lives. 

1. Basic Mediation Training - 40 hour  and  Family Mediation Training - 24 hours are taught together as one 64 hour course offered in-house at our center.

3. De-escalation and Trauma Informed Mediation Education is offered remotely.

We are excited to announce we are in the final stages of preparation of various community training offerings. We will be offering Conflict Resolution Training and  Active Listening Skills Training. We are continuing to develop other trainings and presentations and we have the ability to customize trainings for businesses, schools and other community programs. Please reach out if you are needing any of these trainings or any other type of community, conflict, communication or interpersonal skills training.
