Basic mediation training on Martha's Vineyard
This workshop meets the statutory requirement for basic training
for mediators who want to work with programs such as the MVCDR
in Massachusetts' state and county courts.
But it's not only for professional mediators: Many past participants
have put the skills to use at work and at home.

The training originally scheduled
for September and October 2008
has been postponed.

If you're interested in a future training,
call 508-693-2999
or email Louisa Williams,
the program's executive director
