Mediation center offers training in May
West Hawaii Mediation Center is accepting trainees for the Basic Mediation Training. The two-day basic training will be held at Waikoloa Community Church on May 3 and 4 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The mediation training consists of 16 hours of comprehensive classroom training. The fee is $100. Upon completion of training, anyone interested in becoming a volunteer mediator with the center, there is an additional apprenticeship component.
The participants will acquire skills in communication, negotiation and problem solving. Mediation, an alternative dispute resolution process, recognizes that many times an impartial third party can help by facilitating cooperation and sincere, open communication between people involved in a dispute. Mediation provides a voluntary process that empowers people to take responsibility for the resolution of their dispute instead of simply turning to litigation, which can often be time-consuming and expensive.
For more information or to sign-up for the training, call West Hawaii Mediation Center at 885-5525 or 326-2666. There are a limited number of openings.
