Mediation

The Community Mediation Services Division considers that sustainable social transformation of our society and the achievement of social justice requires the permeation and pervasive presence of restorative behaviour throughout our society. Therefore, the division executes several initiatives which aim to encourage the adoption of behaviours that are consistent with the underpinning philosophy of mediation, restoration and peace building. These initiatives include Peer Mediation, Social Work Services (counselling, advocacy, and policy), Conflict Management Training, Leadership Skills Development, Anger Management, Emotional Intelligence, Co-Parenting Programme, Communication and Interpersonal Skills in addition to initiatives which are designed according to the needs of the particular organisation or community. These initiatives support the practices of mediation and social work and other therapeutic interventions as well as the facilitation of difficult conversations in communities and special interest groups.
