Six Rivers Dispute Center adds mediators Six Rivers Dispute Resolu- tion Center (DRC), a commu- nity non-profit specializing in interpersonal mediations, facilitations and communica- tion workshops, trained and certified 12 new mediators in 2019. Participants leave the 40- hour Basic Mediation Training prepared to address conflicts in their professional lives as lawyers, teachers, managers, counselors, government em- ployees and more, said a press release. Six Rivers DRC has offered the foundational mediation training course since 2006, and is “thrilled” to see more Gorge locals committed to learn- ing conflict resolution skills. Said Executive Director Marti Dane, “Conflict intervention is complex, fraught with conse- quence and ultimately one of the most salient needs in our society.” Trainers are Dane and Train- ing Director Nicolia Mehrling. CENTRL Office, the Port of Hood River, Hood River Fire Hall, Riverside Church and Windermere Real Estate pro- vided the spaces to hold these trainings. More than a dozen community members volun- teered to act as disputants in role plays so trainees could hone their skills. “The team at Six Rivers ap- preciates everyone who con- tributed time and effort to make this training possible,” Dane said. Six Rivers is dedicated to spreading these skills through- out the Gorge and is very proud of the 12 new mediators who are now equipped to resolve conflicts, said a press release. Mehrling said, “Mediation involves versatile skills and we are excited to see where they take what they learned.” About Six Rivers Dispute Resolution Center: Estab- lished in 2003, Six Rivers DRC is a non-profit 501c3 organi- zation that provides low-cost conflict resolution and educa- tion services.
