SCHOOL-BASED MEDIATION & RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Incorporating CMS mediation training into school curriculums can prove to be highly advantageous for all parties involved. This training delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of basic mediation, catering specifically to the school environment and the age groups of its participants, which includes staff, teachers, administrators, students, and parents. The program can be tailored to train the various participants together or in groups, depending on the needs of the school. Furthermore, this training can be extended to offer long-term development programs for students. The benefits of this type of training are manifold, as it helps create a safe and equitable environment for all involved, ensuring that conflicts are resolved in a fair and efficient manner.
THE ELMHURST COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP (ECP)
The Elmhurst Community Partnership (ECP) is a dynamic collective impact initiative supported by funding from the New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), under the Community Partnership Program. The Community Partnership Program (CPP) exemplifies ACS’ ongoing dedication to forging strong alliances with communities to advance primary prevention strategies. CPPs function as local coalitions, serving as vital hubs that foster collaboration, resource-sharing, and increased family access to information and support. These partnerships are instrumental in designing and implementing effective primary prevention strategies. The Elmhurst Community Partnership operates collaboratively within these core areas to enhance the well-being of children and families residing in the Elmhurst, Corona, and Jackson Heights communities of Queens, NY. We are immensely proud to join forces with numerous organizations and individuals who contribute to the success of this transformative initiative.
ELDERCARE MEDIATION PROGRAM
Our program aims to address the diverse needs of seniors and their loved ones as they navigate the complex issues of eldercare. We understand that as people age, their needs and roles change, which can create new stresses for them and their families. That’s why we offer compassionate support and guidance regardless of income or socioeconomic status. Our services cover a wide range of eldercare issues such as residence decisions, distribution of caregiving responsibilities, safety and health concerns, guardianship, medical and legal powers, wills and estates, and the sale of the family home. We are proud to partner with the New York Foundation for Eldercare to provide this important program.
