Community Justice and Mediation Center (CJAM) Training

The Community Justice and Mediation Center (CJAM) will be offering a mediation training program in the upcoming weeks. CJAM offers a 40-hour training program for community members interested in learning about conflict resolution, mediation, and restorative justice. Participants will enhance their interpersonal skills in communication and listening, problem solving, and negotiation, and they will increase their understanding of restorative justice philosophy and methods, the sources of conflict, and the processes leading to constructive conflict resolution. The training should benefit any community member concerned with managing conflict and its resolution. The training provides the background and skills necessary to work as a community mediator and restorative justice practitioner and qualifies participants to volunteer in CJAM's programs.

The winter training will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. over five weekend days: February 16, 17, 23, 24 & March 2, at the Law School. The training will be led by senior mediators and restorative justice practitioners. Tuition is $300 or The Early Bird Registration $275 if received by January 28 2019. Scholarships are available.
