There's still time to join Community Mediation Minnesota - CMM for their 40-Hour Family Mediation Skills Training starting May 6th!

All who are interested in becoming a family mediator are welcome to attend Community Mediation Minnesota’s online 40-Hour Family Mediation Skills Training. Family mediation focuses on helping divorced or separated parents, and their children, find relief from conflict, stress and anger. Volunteering as a family mediator helps to provide a safe space for co-parents to make decisions about their relationship with each other and to discuss their responsibilities to their children – in a more cooperative setting than going to court.

As a core service area, CMRS housing services incorporate institutional and community-based approaches. In courts, we use mediation services to offer alternative agreements for housing rather than eviction. Oftentimes, mediation can help residents remain housed while they form payment plans, wait on rental assistance, or co-create alternatives that are specific to their cases. In the community, housing mediations are frequently bundled with financial resources as we work to reduce the “resource runaround” for renters and property owners.

If you’d like to learn more about any of these services, please feel free to reach out to Joyce, Housing Stability Manager by sending us a message.

Did you know that CMRS’s schools program strives to support schools in fostering communities where everyone feels a sense of belonging, connection, and respect?

We envision a community where schools are able to collaboratively reimagine “the way we’ve always done it” into something that intentionally brings compassion for all; where open-minded and honest conversations are able to take root and grow. Our services focus on increasing school capacity to build community and repair harm. We utilize a variety of restorative practices to support this goal, including talking circles, mediation, and restorative conferences.

If you’d like to learn more about any of these services, please feel free to reach out.

Community Mediation & Restorative Services, Inc.

Since 1983, Community Mediation & Restorative Services, Inc. (CMRS) has been dedicated to helping individuals move from conflict to resolution and from harm to healing through respectful and confidential mediation and restorative processes. We believe many of our community’s most pressing issues - housing instability, youth conflict, family, workplace, neighborhood discord - stem from an unresolved dispute or offense.

With trained volunteer mediators and facilitators, and with local communities, schools and courts, CMRS is systematically changing the way our community addresses conflict. Participants are able to craft their own lasting solutions, acknowledge harm, come together and restore community.

In addition to providing mediation and restorative services, CMRS provides a wide variety of training opportunities and shares in leadership for regional and statewide mediation and restorative justice initiatives. More information is available at www.CMRSmn.org

CMRS is a nonprofit organization serving Hennepin County. If you are interested in getting volunteering, receiving our services or financially supporting our work, please contact info@cmrsmn.org or call (763) 561-0033 .
