Basic Mediation Training entails a minimum of 30 instructional hours, generally taught over four days. The training is a balance of theory and practice. It focuses on a facilitative mediation style in which the parties are typically kept in the same room and using caucus as a tool within the process. Trainers use diverse teaching methods including classroom-style presentations, demonstration role-plays, videos, active learning exercises, and outside readings. The training addresses specific Nebraska statutes and Nebraska's ethical standards for mediators. During training, there are several opportunities to role-play simulated mediation sessions. All role players are provided feedback from experienced mediators/coaches in a 4:1 ratio.

Training Components:

• Overview of conflict theory
• Dealing with emotions
• Mediator standards and ethics
• Models of intervention for conflict situations
• Communication skills and their effective use in mediation
• Cross-cultural implications and bias awareness
• Theory and application of interest-based mediation
• Theory of interest-based negotiation and relationship to mediation
• Theory of interest-based mediation and when it can be used effectively
• Simulation mediation role plays

Who Should Attend - While this training satisfies the statutory requirements of the Nebraska Dispute Resolution Act and provides the foundation for those wanting to become mediators, many have taken the training to improve the development of their communication and negotiation skills. Attendees learn ways to address conflict that can be applied in both their personal and professional lives. If you find yourself assisting others in resolving issues, this training is for you!
