CONFLICT RESOLUTION

St. Cloud State offers credit and non-credit (professional development) training
opportunities for St. Cloud State students and community members. 

We offer two courses/training's in mediation at St. Cloud State University.  

 * Civil mediation is mediation for disputes such as insurance claims,
   disagreements between business partners, neighbors, and landlords/tenants,
   etc.
 * Family mediation is mediation for divorcing couples, parenting time or any
   other family related matters. Covers family law; psychological issues of
   adults and children in divorce; domestic abuse; financial and property
   issues, and mediator ethics in family cases. 

Both of these courses are certified by the Minnesota supreme court as qualifying
individuals for the corresponding rosters.

Both courses can be taken for CEU hours or as a credit based course. Both may
also be taken at the graduate level for someone who is pursuing a master’s
degree.

40 HOUR CIVIL MEDIATION TRAINING


CEU'S AND FOR CREDIT

Dates:  Dates TBD

Time:  8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.

Location:  SCSU Welcome Center and/or Riverview 205



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 40-Hour Facilitative Civil Mediation Training is a comprehensive
experiential training course that teaches participants to skillfully facilitate
conversations between people in conflict in order to assist them in reaching
creative, mutually-satisfactory outcomes. This course is designed for
professionals who want to learn to mediate, and meets all requirements of both
the Minnesota Supreme Court’s Rule 114 Training Guidelines and the Community
Dispute Resolution Program Training Requirements for community mediators in
Minnesota. Upon completion of this certified course, participants will have the
skills to mediate in a wide variety of situations and be eligible for inclusion
on the Minnesota Rule 114 Qualified Neutral Civil Roster as well as be eligible
to volunteer with community mediation centers throughout Minnesota.

During the training, participants learn the mediation process, and gain the
skills to identify the interests and fundamental needs that underlie the
positions of people in conflict. Participants also learn to reframe positional
or destructive communication into productive communication, and to understand
conflict styles, become an active listener, manage impasse, and identify power
imbalances. Additionally, participants learn skills to remain neutral in
challenging situations, and gain an understanding of the cultural and ethical
issues that may arise when mediating parties in conflict.

Please bring $15 to the first class to purchase a required manual.


Professional Credits:

 * 40 Alternative Dispute Resolution Credits (ADR); includes 2 Ethics Credits,
   26 Standard Continuing Legal Education Credits (CLE), includes 2 Ethics
   Credits and 2 Elimination of Bias Credits, 30 total CLE

civil roster is only 30 hours. The differential is because this course counts
both as a university course which meets for around 45 hours as well as
qualifying one for the roster.

Department at St. Cloud State. 

Jeff is a Qualified Neutral under Rule 114 of the Minnesota General Rules of
Practice and has taught mediation for over ten years.  He also teaches courses
