Accessible conflict resolution skills for all in Pierce County.
The Basic Mediation Training (BMT) teaches our community the skills necessary to address conflict.
Participants will learn how to hold difficult conversations in a respectful way, especially when people don’t agree. At the Center for Dialog & Resolution, we believe this training should be available to everyone in our community and that money should not hinder a person from accessing these skills.
