In CTW, we want to encourage NVC conflict facilitation and those who do it. We are asking these questions in the spirit of encouraging reflection on:
- How much support you have
- How much ongoing learning are you doing
- How connected you are to other conflict facilitators
Do you have or are you willing to consider paid supervision?
Are you willing to give facilitator support (to other mediators in the network) and receive facilitator support for your own practice?
Are you having ongoing (not necessarily regular) CPD and learning about systemic issues such as polarisation, or historical and geographical grievances, that will come up in mediation?
Do you have an awareness of trauma and how it shows up in conflict?
Do you have awareness of when mediation is not helpful and needs to be stopped?
Do you have awareness of your own patterns when under resourced or out of your depth?
***
We don’t need to know your answers to these questions, we hope the answers are things to be discussed in (peer or paid) supervision sessions.
