helping
reduce levels of violence in other areas of society...
local communities, congregations, social services......
The
Conflict Center’s work in the community represents a third
side.
As peacemakers, we’re involved in many capacities, participating
in local communities, and offering our services.
Although peacemaking is not often a feature on agendas of community
meetings, the Center recommends that the topic be added.
Working
toward creative solutions, we use conflict management skills to build
better relationships and work out community issues.
Active listening and sharing the ability to respond are more ways to
maintain a place in the web of community building.
Our
role as a third side is to serve as the nuts and bolts of practical
peacemaking in the community.

Public Education. We take part in a collaborative
effort by Regis University, Padres Unidos, Northwest Parents and the
Denver Public Schools community
members
to support public education.
TCC will continue to reduce levels of violence in the community by participating as a third side in the ongoing dialogue on support for higher education, at community trainings and agency events to demonstrate the relationship between anger and health management as well as the importance of interpersonal skill building.
We’ll
also support the Third Annual Cesar Chavez Holiday on Saturday, March
27. This year the celebration will be in Northeast Denver’s Swansea
and Clayton neighborhoods, raising awareness about Cesar Chavez’s
contributions to nonviolence.
The
Denver Department of Human Services (DHS) has enlisted TCC’s
help with the Family to Family Initiative. This project will hold
community forums to include the public on the need for foster parenting
care placements within home-based neighborhoods. DHS community outreach
has great new research and innovative ideas to share about the importance
of community team building to help solve the problem of child welfare
education.
TCC staff and North Denver Violence Prevention Committee (NDVPC) members
have also volunteered as Family to Family Initiative and CAB community
representatives.
The Denver District Attorney’s / Denver Juvenile Probation’s offices have managed the Restorative Justice Initiative’s Community Accountability Program (CAB) in 29 of Denver’s neighborhoods offering more opportunities for involvement in the restorative justice process. TCC will be pro-peace, and proactive at several levels, offering the Center as a meeting place for educational community forums and CAB conferences.
Mediation Services. The Conflict Center offers mediation services to community organizations. Several members of The Conflict Center staff are trained / certified as mediators and available to help local civic groups and religious organizations. For a brief overview of the mediation process...
