[Vision2020] Palouse Center for Conflict Management

[Tom Ivie]

Palouse Center for Conflict Management, Inc.
  Opens its Doors for Community Mediation
    
  MOSCOW, ID -- With conflict arising all around us in families, workplaces, neighborhoods, governments and the world, a group of area mediators have formed a non-profit mediation and education center for conflict management.
  Services include mediation in conflict areas of neighbor to neighbor, landlord/tenant, victim/offender, workplace/employment, interpersonal, parent/teen and environmental/resources.
  Additionally, the Center will offer educational classes, trainings and workshops in communication skills, anger management, conflict management, negotiation, victim offender and consensus building.
  Mediation is a flexible, nonbinding process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) helps people in conflict to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediators do not make decisions for the parties. Mediators help parties realize and explain their needs, clarify misunderstandings, identify issues, explore creative solutions and negotiate an agreement. It is particularly useful when parties have a continuing business or personal relationship.
  Because mediation is not a legal process it often includes the parties’ underlying needs and interests, thus broadening options for resolution and increasing the likelihood that the resolution will address the parties’ true needs.
  All PCCM mediators are volunteer and the Center has no paid staff.  Expenses to operate the Center come from services provided at a reasonable and affordable fee scale.  Board members and Center mediators are Deborah Berman, John Cronin, Nancy Greenwell, Catherine Jasmer, Kay Keskinen, LS Nickerson, Barbara J. Smith and Rita Styer.
  The Center at 906 N. Almon Street, Suite A., is in a secluded location, thus furthering private and confidential mediation processes.
              More information may be found on the website at www.goecities.com/pccmdrc or by calling 882-2352.
