The primary goal of transformative mediation is to foster the conflicting parties' empowerment and recognition, enabling them to approach their current problem, as well as later problems, with a stronger, more open view. Join us to discover this exciting way to look at conflict.

Transformative mediation is a different approach to solving conflicts. We would like to share with the community this opportunity to learn how attitudes can be changed and lives transformed through this approach to mediation.

This in-person two day workshop will be followed up with role play and observation opportunities. When you have completed the course, you may consider volunteering for MSAC as a mediator.

MSAC’s training will be led by Susan Jordan, Executive Director at Susquehanna Valley Mediation a mediation professional with over a decade of experience in conflict transformation and non-profit management. She is also a certified mediator and trainer through the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation (ISCT), and member of ISCT's Board of Directors. Also led by Patti Robinson, Board President of Mediation Services of Adams County Inc. Patti is a NYS certified mediator and has over 15 years of mediation experience in divorce, family, small claims mediation, small claims arbitration, police/citizen, elderly, and child welfare permanency mediation.
