Oakland Mediation Center (OMC), an Oakland County mediation and conflict resolution training facility, invites legal professionals to its first General Civil Mediation Training of 2026.
The 5-day State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) approved General Civil Mediation Training is designed to teach participants the skills necessary to act as mediators in facilitating the resolution of disputes. By the end of the training, participants will be able to identify the various conflict management styles and how they can be used in dealing with conflict; define issues, positions, interests, and emotions and explore why they are important in mediation; manage the emotional climate in mediation and manage power imbalances and conditions; and more.
“OMC has been dedicated to providing quality mediation training for over 37 years,” said Charity Burke, OMC executive director. “Our training is designed to give participants, from all backgrounds, skills they can use immediately to serve and make a lasting impact on our community.”
The training will be held in half-day sessions on February 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 from 1 to 5 p.m. each day. The cost of the training is $1,295. Participants will receive a detailed mediation manual, jump-drive containing reproducible mediation forms, as well as a certificate of attendance. Those completing their training at OMC become eligible for discounts on practical experience opportunities.
OMC’s trainings are approved by SCAO and are designed to be interactive and skill based. For additional information about this training and others, contact Michael Robinson, mediation specialist and education coordinator, at 248-338-4280 Ext. 212 or mrobinson@mediation-omc.org.
