MMP Training Programs
Essential Problem Solving Skills ("EPSS")
As
publicized in the
Sun Herald in June, 2006 and reported in the
Mississippi Press on March 1, 2007, the focus of this training
is be to train residents of Mississippi communities in conflict
resolution skills, in order to enhance the capacities of residents
and their communities to work collaboratively and productively in
long term recovery efforts.
The EPSS
training workshop
is designed as a “stand-alone” interactive skills training which
will enhance the capacity of each individual trainee to be an
effective problem solver with regard to conflicts in his/her
personal life, employment relationships and community
interactions.
Each
Interactive workshop will include
appropriate role plays and essential skills, including:
-
Effective Communication
-
Positive Problem Solving, including Bias
and Cultural Sensitivity
-
Civic
and Interpersonal Engagement
-
Personal and Collective Accountability
-
Negotiation, Advocacy and Collaboration
Successful completion of the EPSS workshop will qualify trainees
to apply for our two advanced training programs,
Community Mediation and Conflict Resolution
and
Become an EPSS Trainer. Advanced trainings in
Community Mediation and Conflict Resolution were held in
Gulfport in June and December, 2007. In late September,
2007, some
of our alumni went even further, through our intensive Trainer
Training to
Become an EPSS Trainer. Those successfully completing either
of these advanced trainings become candidates to work with MMP in
the provision of services to their communities, with other
organizations and on their own.
