Wednesday, October 15, 2008 |
Neighbor to neighbor mediation services is offering basic mediation training in late October and early November.
This training qualifies a volunteer to mediate for Coos County Circuit Court (small claims and eviction matters) and interpersonal disputes within the community.
Described as comprehensive, fun and mind-expanding, the class is open to all people interested in becoming a mediator or gaining skills to help others manage and resolve their own conflict.
The course is intended to introduce the concepts and practice of mediation, both as a life skill and as a professional service. It will teach a step-by-step process to facilitate collaborative problem-solving.
The training is set 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays, Oct. 30-31, and Nov. 6-7.
The $200 tuition covers all training materials, lunches and snacks. ($100 will be refunded to those who mediate eight cases for Neighbor to Neighbor before Nov. 1.) There will be a $300 tuition charge if taking course for personal development with no intention to mediate in the courts.
Class size is limited and registration is required. For more information and to register call Char Luther, Neighbor to Neighbor, 751-9666 or e-mail
