Ten Programs of MEDIATION WORKS

Community Mediation Program

Mediation services are provided for disputes arising throughout the community – between neighbors, landlords and tenants, between merchants and customers, and between friends.  We also have a special program for Manufactured Dwelling Park residents.  Under contract with the Oregon Housing and Community Services we provide free mediations for disputes within mobile parks.

 

Latino Outreach Program

Programa diseñado para proveer y extender todos los servicios de mediación a la comunidad Hispana/Latina.

 

Family Mediation Program

The main focus of this program is to provide mediation services for parents and their adolescents. We provide family mediation between youth and adult members of their families -. especially “at risk” girls and with youth offenders.  Family mediation allows modeling of conflict resolution and problem solving skills and reduces the chance of violence and runaways in family situations.

 

Elder Mediation Outreach Program

Mediation services are provided for senior citizens and adult children in dispute and for seniors and caretakers in conflict.

 

Schools Peer Mediation and Conflict Resolution Training Programs

Mediation Works partners with schools to teach conflict resolution skills to students, parents, faculty and staff through an interactive curriculum; through our peer mediation training programs and through our bullying and harassment prevention training and intervention program.  Mediation Works pioneered the peer mediation programs in Jackson County – with programs from High School through Elementary.

 

Juvenile Detention Center Classes

Up to 40 youth in the Detention Center meet weekly with Mediation Works trainers to discuss communication skills, conflict resolution and decision making processes.  The interactive curricula includes skits and role plays. As a result of this program, youth often request mediation with an adult member of their family.

 

Victim Offender Program

In cooperation with Community Justice, juvenile offenders participate in classes designed to help them understand the impact of their actions on others.  Youth then meet face to face with their victim.  Victims have an opportunity to resolve issues, have their questions answered and begin the healing process.

 

Workplace Mediation & Training Program

We provide communication skills, assertiveness, team building and managing conflict, trainings in organizations.  Mediation services to resolve conflicts between employees, and between employees and management including EEO and other complaints are also offered.  Facilitation of difficult or challenging meetings and coaching and intervention in high conflict situations are additional services..

 

Court Mediation Program

Mediation Works contracts with the Courts to provide two mediation services – Small Claims and FED.  Whenever a Small Claims case is filed and the defendant responds to the summons, the case is scheduled for mediation.  Also, when a landlord applies to the courts for eviction of a tenant, the landlord and tenant have an opportunity to settle their differences through mediation. 

 

Mediation Training Programs

Twice a year, our senior staff provide a five day basic mediation program and, through out the year, continuing education programs which meet the requirements for mediator qualifications as set by the Oregon Judicial Department.
