Become an
EPSS Trainer in
Your Community
Begun in
late September, 2007, the Mississippi Mediation Project ("MMP")
will continue to train a small groups of selected community members who have
demonstrated superior competence in the understanding of techniques learned in the Essential Problem
Solving Skills training and are interested in conducting future
trainings in MMP Essential Problem Solving Skills within their
own and other nearby communities. This effort will be led
by Richard Dodson of Ridge Associates, one of our collaborating
organizations.
This training will be
intensive and be carried out over the course of several months,
in three 4-day sessions. Upon successful completion,
trainees will be fully prepared to lead EPSS workshops in local
and nearby communities and will become MMP EPSS trainers.
All trainees accepted into this program must agree in advance to
attend all three sessions of training and to join the MMP team
as volunteer trainers for a minimum of four EPSS workshops in each of
the two years following completion of the training.
Qualifications:
The cost of this training is $10,000 per person, with 50% of this
cost underwritten by the MMP. Scholarships
will be available, for all or part of the remainder of this fee, for any
qualified applicant with financial need who cannot arrange to have this
fee
underwritten by a community organization or an employer.
Dates and locations of
this training will be announced and MMP will accept applications for this training
on a continuing basis. In order to apply for this
training, please contact Laurel Kaufer at (877) 663-3428 or by
email at
laurel@mississippimediationproject.org.
To date, the following
participants have completed this intensive training and are
available to conduct EPSS workshops in Mississippi Gulf Coast
communities.
