About this training manual

This manual is an easy-to-follow mediation training for individuals who may not have the time to attend a full 40-hour mediation training. There is the flexibility of training at your own pace, or there may not be trainings available in your area.

Purpose


The purpose of this manual is to provide easy-to-follow instruction in mediation training for individuals. This method has a documented record of accomplishment for improving relations and reducing conflict and its many ramifications.


We spend more time and dollars on problems that could be prevented. Over 85% of the average social service dollar is spent on treating preventable problems rather than on actual prevention. Mediation training is a prevention approach. It prepares you to meet daily challenges with improved critical thinking skills.

Included In This Mediation Training

Through this Self-Teaching approach, we teach you the following skills:

 

  • Skills and theories of mediation.

  • Practical conflict management.

  • The causes of conflict.

  • Conflict management styles.

  • Dealing with angry people.

  • Cross-cultural mediating skills.

  • Writing a workable agreement.

  • Realistic activities.

  • Mediating techniques: the art of neutrality, the art of questioning, and the art of listening.

 

In addition to teaching mediation and critical thinking skills, the training also helps develop:

  • Communication skills. Communication skills enhance your ability to speak and write effectively, and can help you avoid assumptions and other obstacles to effective social exchange.

  • Problem solving skills.  Problem solving skills improve your ability to identify the real problem and its key issues so that you may find a satisfactory solution. This training teaches ways to organize facts in a meaningful way, analyze conflict situations, and use common sense in complex problem solving situations.

  • Public speaking skills.  Public speaking skills introduces you to public speaking, helps you become aware of possible fears of speaking before groups, and teaches you how to deal with nervous speaking habits.

Mediation is an effective alternative to . . .

*   Bullying      *  Fighting    *Physical Violence   *  Verbal Violence

 

Mediation saves time, energy, and cost spent on conflict by REDUCING . . .

*  Punishment    *  Suspensions    *  Expulsions *   Physical Damage    *  Emotional Damage     *  Property Damage

 

Mediation helps to meet daily conflicts with improved critical thinking skills.

Mediation also creates a more peaceful environment. 

What's In It For Me?

  • You will have the ability to identify an emerging conflict before it escalates into a physical altercation.

  • You will improve these skills: Communication, problem solving, public speaking, and conflict resolution.

  • You are prepared to negotiate daily conflict in a positive way because you now know numerous alternatives to fighting and confusion.

  • You now have knowledge of conflict management that enhances relationships.

  • Plus, you are inspired with new information to create an atmosphere of . . .

o  Acceptance of diversity and individual differences,
o  Conflict resolution instead of conflict escalation, and
o  Building bridges instead of brick walls.
Overall, mediation training can help you grow personally and lead you to create and enjoy a more peaceful surrounding. You will become more of an asset to your community.
