Family Dispute Resolution

Conflict is a natural part of life and an essential component of change. The ability to manage and resolve conflict, then, is vital to the development of healthy individuals and communities.

Community mediation training facilitates the development of a community where the focus is on alternative forms of communication. Trained community members will possess the tools to minimise or eliminate the negative repercussions of communication breaking down between parties who disagree. The impact is monumental and will have a trickle down effect across all levels of the Durham community.

The Family Mediation Resource Centre is just that, a resource to members of our community that are reaching out for assistance in resolving a situation that is challenging for them. Resources like this can help people deal with difficult situations in their lives, possibly preventing them from having to enter the traditional court system for resolution.

Mediation Training is a cornerstone in helping to understand the benefits of mediation and mediated resolutions. There are key guidelines in place in order to help prepare participants for mediation which can lead to stronger agreements between all parties involved. This training can help support the mediator as well as anyone involved in conflict who can utilize the tools provided to become better partners, coworkers, and community members at large.

Chris Nelan Student Life Coordinator, Trent University Durham

Unfortunately, where there are people - there is always the potential for conflict. Conflict knows no boundaries. It is no respecter of persons. It cannot and perhaps ought not to be avoided, for it can be transformed into opportunity, when facilitated through skillful hands ... What better place to start - to bring resolution, than in your own backyard - your neighbourhood - your community. The training you will receive is just the beginning of your journey that will bring hope, healing and peace in conflict.
