Our Programs 1. We have taught Conflict Resolution and Mediation skills to judges, lawyers, government officials and office workers, teachers, children, parents and youth, CEO's, university and hospital administrators, police officers, social workers, nurses, doctors, medical technicians, management and union officials, small business owners, government office holders and bureaucrats, religious organizations' leaders and congregations. This service continues. The Center is a key player in a statewide association for all community mediation programs. Mediation helps people reach agreements, rebuild relationships, and find permanent solutions to their disputes.
Mediation is a process that lets people speak for themselves and make their own decisions.
Community mediation provides a non-profit framework for assuring access to mediation services at the community level with control and responsibility for disputes resolution maintained in the community. We teach the study and practice of collaborative conflict resolution to schools' staff, teachers, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, students and their parents. The Center can supply teachers, materials, ideas and guidance to teach skills that can be applied in and outside the classroom. The analysis of conflict and its resolution is also a part of the academic program of Salisbury State University. Students now receive a minor in Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies.
