Conflict coaching workshops

In partnership with the Solicitor’s Office for Richland county and Kershaw counties, the Community Mediation Center offers a series of workshops called Conflict Coaching. Participants are referred from the Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) program that is housed in the Solicitor’s Office. This program is for first time offenders and offers them an opportunity to expunge their record by completing requirements established by the Solicitor’s Office, such as community services and trainings.

Conflict Coaching is a four-session workshop where participants have the opportunity to learn how to resolve conflicts and to communicate in a cooperative and respectful way. Topics include but are not limited to: effective communication, perceptions, anger management, accountability, and styles of conflict resolution. The final session focuses on future planning through one-on-one conflict coaching or a family meeting.

The Conflict Coaching sessions take place at the Community Mediation Center.  Participants are charged a small fee for participation. If you have any questions about this program, please contact Antwanette Bowers at 714-1176.
