Mediation & Conflict Resolution Training to be Offered

Mediation Services of Adams County, a not-for-profit organization providing mediation services and training, will offer a 22-hour Mediation and Conflict Resolution Training workshop. Among the emphases of the workshop will be conflict styles, active listening, communication, negotiation, and mediation skills. The workshop is scheduled for Friday evening, April 30; all day Saturday, May 1; Sunday afternoon, May 2; and all day Saturday, May 8, in Community Rooms B, C, and D at the Gettysburg Hospital. The cost of the workshop is $150, which covers training, materials, snacks, and lunches.

Dispute resolution skills are useful in the workplace, family, service organizations, municipalities, and community agencies. Mediation is a conflict resolution technique designed to resolve problems which develop between people in many different settings. In mediation, individuals typically sit down with a trained mediator and work towards a mutually agreeable solution. Negotiation is a more informal one-on-one approach useful in everyday life.

Professionally trained and certified mediators from Mediation Services of Adams County will conduct all sessions.
