Using the training provided by Community Mediation Maryland in Conflict Resolution for Youth, Community Mediation Upper Shore is using the training materials to teach a 7.5 hour course to youths from 8 to 18 who have been charged with level 2 or 3 assault or related crimes. Using this type of program to help prevent future incidents involving the attendees was the brainchild of Guilia Hodge, a Supervisor for DJS/Cecil County and is taught by Gordon English of CMUS.
The course is taught on 3 consecutive Tuesdays, for 2.5 hours each day. It covers recognizing what anger is, it’s various levels, how it impacts how we act and people’s perceptions of us in the first session, recognizing and understanding our and others feelings when angry, and how to satisfy those feelings for both sides in the second session, followed by how to communicate with those who are either angry with you or don’t understand what you are trying to say in the final session. The first class began in September and the plan is to continue classes through December, refining the presentation as necessary to provide the maximum benefit to the attendees.
