TRAININGS 2008The Center's work in 2007-2008 will be focused squarely on training mediators as professionals to be volunteers for the Center or to be in private or public practice or to use their skills in other settings. If you are interested in training to be a mediator or want more detailed information, please email the Center at info@lancmed.org or call 717-293-7231. The Center staff will be glad to put you on its mailing list for trainings. Our training cycle for major training programs is March, June, and October of each year. Beginning in 2008 we expect to offer 40 hour basic mediation training programs in those months and 40 hour divorce training programs in March and June.

DMT covers all aspects of divorce and custody mediation from intake to writing a memorandum of agreement, including property division, spousal and child support, and parenting in a legal framework. DMT lays a foundation for building on individual style to provide effective mediation service. DMT is an interactive, practice-based training.

Training methods, materials, credits, and fees LMC trainings are student-centered and largely experiential. LMC trainers use combinations of simulations, skills exercises, discussion based on lectures, videotapes, panels, and simulations. LMC training is intensely practical and grounded in conflict resolution theory. They prepare mediators for their work from setting up the mediation site through all phases of the session with clients and into post-session debriefing and planning both for subsequent sessions and professional development. All training is accomplished in part through well developed training materials that are provided to all trainees. The training is appropriate for professional mediators whether they work as volunteer mediators, as private practitioners, or as employees of public or private organizations. It also prepares people to deal with conflict better when they are not mediators. Continuing education credits are awarded when available. All trainees who complete a training program receive a certificate of completion suitable for framing. Fees vary with the program. Scholarships may be available. Lancaster Mediation Center active volunteer mediators are subsidized.
