All who are interested in becoming a family mediator are welcome to attend Community Mediation Minnesota’s online 40 Hour Family Mediation Skills Training starting May 6, 2026. 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.

Attending all 40 hours is required in order to meet Minnesota Rule 114 Family Mediation requirements. Those who complete this course can apply to become Minnesota Qualified Neutrals on the Supreme Court Family Mediation Roster. CLE Credits can be applied. *Note, this training does not qualify for the Civil Mediation Roster!

At its core, mediation is about connection.

It’s a guided process that helps people move from tension to clarity — and from disagreement to resolution.

When communication breaks down, mediation helps rebuild it.

Conflict resolution isn’t about “winning.”
It’s about finding a way forward that everyone can live with.

Thank you, National Association for Community Mediation (NAFCM)!

When communities feel threatened, fear can rise quickly, and escalation often follows. In those moments, public pressure can grow to limit rights in the name...

Mediation is an investment in problem-solving — not prolonged conflict.
By addressing issues early, people can avoid the higher costs that come with escalation.

Sometimes the most affordable choice is simply sitting down to talk. Want to learn more? Send us a message.

Disagreements are a normal part of life — staying stuck in them doesn’t have to be.

Mediation helps people move from tension to clarity through guided conversation and shared problem-solving.

Our role, with the generous support of trained volunteer mediators, facilitators and partner organizations, is to systematically change how communities address conflict and find mutually acceptable and lasting resolutions.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Conflict happens…
But resolution can too. 💐

Mediation offers a respectful space to work through disagreements and rebuild understanding — in families, partnerships, and communities.

Whether it’s family, workplace, or community conflict, mediation focuses on repairing relationships rather than assigning blame.

It’s a supportive path toward mutual respect and understanding.
