Brought to the forefront by Bush & Folger’s groundbreaking book The Promise of Mediation published in 1994, Transformative Mediation is a unique approach to conflict management. Unlike traditional problem-solving approaches to mediation, where the mediator directs outcomes, Transformative Mediation focuses on empowering parties in conflict to come together in mutual recognition, and identify their own mutually agreed upon solutions for solving their conflict. This course is offered in both Denver and Colorado Springs locations.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:
- The framework for the transformative model
- Differences between transformative mediation and other models

- Reflection and insights into one’s belief and values regarding conflict, mediation and the mediator role
- Ten Indicators of Transformative Practice
- Skills and techniques for supporting opportunities for empowerment and recognition
