In this training, you will learn aspects of effective conflict coaching, including gathering data, assigning homework, and applying Scripture to the heart. You will learn to provide encouragement, godly advice, and prayer support to an individual who is struggling with a conflict through group exercises and short role-plays.
Conflict Coaching differs from mediation in that it usually involves interaction with only one of the parties or one side of the conflict. Conflict Coaching differs from biblical counseling in that it gives direction and advice concerning a specific conflict rather than addressing lifelong sin patterns
In Conflict Coaching training you will be equipped to coach an individual to go directly to the other party in the conflict to settle differences, using a personal peacemaking response (e.g. overlooking, discussion, or negotiation). Conflict Coaching must precede mediation training.
Mediation training brings to life the principles and concepts learned in conflict coaching and introduces the process for reconciling two or more people who cannot resolve conflict on their own. Mediation involves working with both parties to improve communication and understanding so that the parties can arrive at a voluntary agreement. Participants have the opportunity to work through detailed case studies and role-plays based on actual conciliation cases. This training, provided by experienced conciliators, gives special attention to communication and problem-solving skills that are needed for effective mediation.
In preparation for this training, you must read The Peacemaker by Ken Sande. In addition, you must complete the Small Group Study or complete the Personal Peacemaking Self-Application Study. The Personal Peacemaking Self-Application Study will be sent to you upon registration. Additional pre-training homework includes reading the Mediation Self-Study Manual and listening to the accompanying CD’s. This will be sent to you when you register through Peacemaker Ministries. For registration and all pre-requisite materials, please contact Peacemaker Ministries at 406.256.1583 or www.peacemaker.net.
This training is required for Peacemaking Teams and those who want to attend advanced training or become a Certified Christian Conciliator. It is also strongly recommended for church leaders, staff and individuals interested in providing formal as well as less formal mediation between two people in conflict.
