Training Team
Professionals will be used to teach such topics as family violence and
law.
Other trainers will be volunteers at the DRC. They are all senior
mediators from professional backgrounds who bring richness to the
training through varied perspectives and practices as mediators.
They are also the coaches with whom you do your 6 supervised mediations.
Other volunteers will assist with logistics and role plays.
Philosophy
Mediation is a process which empowers the parties to a dispute
to explore their conflict, generate many possible solutions and
reach resolutions which are satisfactory to each party. They
may also decide that it is not resolvable at that time.
It is a collaborative, intuitive, flexible, creative and synergistic
process. Research suggests that talking face to face also teaches
communication skills which carry over into the relationship well
beyond the end of the mediation process.
While courts and attorneys are involved in most cases at the DRC,
we strive to keep the parties in control of the content and outcome
of the mediation.
The mediators retain contol of the process.
