Mediation & Conflict Resolution

We offer a variety of programs that present strategies to use with challenging situations and people. Human service professionals, clergy, educators and public agency employees can all learn valuable techniques to use in both their professional and personal lives. Some programs also offer Continuing Legal Education (CLE) hours. See individual brochure pdfs for complete information on approved hours.

Divorce mediation programs are designed to meet the required training for divorce and child custody mediators in the state of Wisconsin along with offering valuable CLE hours.
