Why Study Mediation and Dispute Resolution?
Disputes occur everywhere - from the workplace to sporting clubs, in schools and within families.
Dispute resolution and mediation requires a special skillset and patience to mediate between parties, and resolve problems.
By understanding more about the nature of conflict and how to deal with diversity we can learn to develop the negotiation skills necessary to bring about or encourage an equitable conclusion.
This course specifically looks at the management of conflict and anger, whilst adding motivation which provides more insight into what internal and external influences affect behaviour. We have also included modules on relationship counselling and ethics which will broaden the scope of a student’s studies by looking at longer term issues and impacts.
This course is suitable for anyone involved in disputes and mediation. For example –
- Aid workers
- Social workers
- Youth workers
- Teachers
- Citizen’s advice bureau staff
- Advice centre staff
Really, anyone working or supporting people who are experiencing difficulties and need someone’s help.
