University groups

Mediation Services provides training to student leaders on negotiation and mediation skills. We have also provided training to Faculty of Education students, first-year University students, residence staff and other student groups. Students are generally most interested in conflict resolution skills as applied in the workplace, interpersonal and peer relationships.

Workplace staff and managerial groups

Conflict resolution workshops are offered on request for school board staff, not-for-profit community agency staff and staff in a variety of other workplace settings. Contact our office to find out if fees apply.

High school students

Mediation interns facilitate conflict resolution workshops for high school students, including co-op students who may draw on conflict resolution skills in their workplaces.

Our workshops focus on providing hands-on activities to help students build communication and conflict resolution skills. In addition, Mediation Services offers mediation skills training for schools with leadership or peer mediation programs.

Committees and not-for-prifit organizations

Mediation Services offers conflict resolution workshops and information for committee groups and not-for-profit organizations.
