Training
In addition to promoting mediation in the community as an alternate peaceful means of conflict resolution, Wenatchee Valley Dispute Resolution Center is engaged in providing training and community education programs.
Conflict is a normal part of life every day. Our trainings offer you, educators, community leaders, counselors, human resources staff, managers, parents, teens, and all interested parties an opportunity to develop conflict resolution and/or mediation skills. The courses are highly interactive with a mixture of lecture, discussion, demonstration and participant role-playing with feedback from instructors and peers.
Organizations and Businesses
- WVDRC provides training in conflict resolution skills to improve communication and conflict resolution capabilities. These trainings are designed to present the concepts, philosophy, and skills needed for a working knowledge of conflict and peaceful resolution.
Individuals
- WVDRC also provides training in mediation theory and skills to anyone interested in acquiring the skills for use in their own personal or professional life, and to all who wish to be among the pro bono (volunteer) certified mediators used to staff WVDRC mediation sessions. This training covers the philosophy, concepts, and skills needed for a working knowledge of the role of a third party neutral mediator. These skills are highly transferable, helping to improve communication and enhance relationships at home, in the workplace, and in the community at large.
