Our 40-hour mediation training course, co-sponsored by the Labor Education Center at the University of Connecticut College of Continuing Studies, provides a comprehensive introduction to mediation and conflict management.

Designed for lawyers and nonlawyers alike and led by William Logue and Paddy Moore, experienced mediators and trainers, the course is based on experiential learning, providing each participant with many opportunities to practice mediation skills and receive feedback. It conveys to participants the following skills:

• Deeper understanding of mediation as a way to settle disputes in commercial and business affairs, divorce and child custody cases, employment relationships, union-management contracts, environmental matters, health care issues, public policy debates and other areas
• Ability to design and provide mediation services in a variety of settings
• Listening, reframing, defusing and containing emotions and other communication skills
• Ability to manage interest-based negotiations between two or more parties
