In 2024, Mediate BC partnered with Carrier Sekani Family Services to develop a four-day community-based workshop on facilitation of collaborative decision-making processes in child welfare. We welcome the opportunity to work with other communities to build understanding of the processes available.
We offer workshops on conflict prevention, management, and resolution within workplaces of all sizes. This can include skills training for staff, volunteers, Board members, and more.
Our Navigator team offers two-hour workshops on collaborative decision-making options for professionals supporting clients in child welfare. These workshops focus on identifying options available to clients, working with facilitators to ensure the processes meet client needs, and supporting clients in participating.
Tailored training sessions for non-profits (staff, Boards, volunteers) and community groups may focus on narrow objectives like managing disagreement, difficult conversations, giving and receiving feedback. Longer workshops may focus on a range of conflict resolution skills or may focus on mediation and facilitation skills

We are committed to advancing Indigenous sovereignty, inherent rights and self-determination. In order to do this, we commit to deepening our understanding of the histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples and the ongoing effects of colonization.
