The 30-Hour Facilitative Civil Mediation Training is a comprehensive experiential training course that teaches participants to skillfully facilitate conversations between people in conflict in order to assist them in reaching creative, mutually-satisfactory outcomes. This course is designed for professionals who want to learn to mediate, and meets all requirements of both the Minnesota Supreme Court’s Rule 114 Training Guidelines and the Community Dispute Resolution Program Training Requirements for community mediators in Minnesota. Upon completion of this certified course, participants will have the skills to mediate in a wide variety of situations and be eligible for inclusion on the Minnesota Rule 114 Qualified Neutral Civil Roster as well as be eligible to volunteer with community mediation centers throughout Minnesota.
During the training, participants learn the mediation process, and gain the skills to identify the interests and fundamental needs that underlie the positions of people in conflict. Participants also learn to reframe positional or destructive communication into productive communication, and to understand conflict styles, become an active listener, manage impasse, and identify power imbalances. Additionally, participants learn skills to remain neutral in challenging situations, and gain an understanding of the cultural and ethical issues that may arise when mediating parties in conflict.

Webinar - Bridging Cultural Bias, Roadblocks in Conflict Resolution - Jun. 12, 2019
Date: June 12, 2019
Time:: 12:00 – 1:00 pm
Location: On-line
Culturally loaded statements and bias can shut down or sidetrack mediation or other dispute resolution processes. Divergent points of view can be polarizing in any relationship.
How can a mediator hold space for multiple perspectives and continue to facilitate? Addressing race and gender “hot buttons” in today’s culture, we will explore these issues as well as ideas to help build cross-cultural understanding by engaging in productive dialogue.
