CoRE™ Conflict Resolution for Everyone

We’re thrilled to offer our flagship, culture-forward basic training program free to King County WA residents throughout 2025. We designed this culturally-infused training to support people in managing conflict on their own and in their communities, through a suite of conflict resolution skills and a basic facilitative mediation process. Visit our CoRE™ page to read more. 

See what one of our learners has to say: “These trainings have been a great way to reflect and evaluate how we interact and how we want to present ourselves and communicate with people.”

CoRE™ is the first step toward becoming a mediator, where you will begin building the foundation needed to address conflicts between neighbors, employers-employees, merchants-consumers, landlords-tenants, plus a variety of interpersonal conflicts. The entire 40-hour course meets the learning objectives for a Basic Mediation Training.
