People in conflict often focus on each other as the problem, going head-to-head. Mediation helps them focus on the issues so they can see how they have a joint problem to solve.

Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center in Hilo is offering a chance for the community to learn more about the mediation process through its 2024 in-person Basic Mediation Training from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 23-24 and March 1-2.

Instructed by Diane Petropulos, an experienced mentor mediator, facilitator and trainer, the 4-day training teaches those who participate the process of mediation and how to apply advanced communication skills — such as active listening, summarizing and rephrasing and using open-ended questions — to help parties resolve differences.
