Domestic Violence Training for Mediators

The Opportunity Alliance is offering Domestic Violence Training for Mediators, a course designed to help meet the requirements to apply to the Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Services (CADRES) roster. 

This course is designed to meet the eight (8) hour CADRES roster training requirement for domestic violence (DV). Through this course, mediators will learn how to: 

  • define DV and its role in communication and screening;
  •  help the mediator determine if there is a history of DV in the relationship 
  • strategies for what and how to mediate if there is a DV history; and 
  • designing a safety plan for before, during and after the mediation session. 

Instructor: Brenda Mitchell. She is a CADRES Family Matters, Small Claims and Forcible Entry & Detainer mediator and a CMS volunteer mediator. Brenda began her career working in a large institution for people with developmental disabilities. She experienced, first hand, the abuse and neglect that is perpetrated upon people who have no voice. Brenda has dedicated her career to giving voice to victims of abuse through training and advocacy. Today, she draws upon her vast training in “Non-Violent Communication” (Marshall Rosenburg), as well as her years of service in the non-profit arena, in her mediation practice.
