Comments About ECR
Testimonials on the work of ECR:
"We know of no better way to equip our students for the 21st
Century than to prepare them to get along with others.
Our schools are only one of many entities that continue to vie for the
time of the competent, caring and influential people at ECR"
Connie Curry, Former Superintendent, Manchester Community Schools
"When they asked me who I would suggest to do conflict resolution
training with the kids in my program, I told them that the only group I would
work with is Education for Conflict Resolution. I wanted the best in the business!"
Cindi Knepper, Director, Boy and Girls Club of Kosciusko County
"After leaving the workshop we had a better understanding of how to
discuss problems and find solutions to problems. We left feeling stronger and able to deal with situations.
We were ready to go up against the world's trials.
Equipped with the knowledge of how to deal with conflicts, we now can
deal with things appropriately."
Brandon Cochran, Student, Whites Family and Residential Services,
Wabash
"This mediation program enlightens everyone's awareness of
family/student problems and gives rise to better awareness of what to do.
In the ones (mediations) that we've done, I cannot determine a
weakness that undermines the process. When
the schools can better resolve (conflicts) for families, families put their
trust in us."
Ed Parks, Principal, Lakeview Middle School, Warsaw
"Having trained over a dozen people from our congregation has given us
the skills to handle inevitable conflict with grace and power.
We've been freed to tackle tougher issues as well as communicate
better at all levels."
Rev. Jeffery L. Hawkins, Pastor
"The feedback we have received from the participants has been
outstanding. When the victim and
the defendant are in a relationship they generally report a dramatic
improvement following the session. I
strongly recommend that you seriously consider using this very valuable
program."
Robert W. Reneker, former Assistant to the Prosecutor, Kosciusko
County
"As a pastor I am a believer in the work of ECR.
We have used their mediation services to help us with several church
conflicts. What came out of those
situations feels nothing short of miraculous.
We are a better faith community because ECR exists."
Rev. Susan Boyer, Pastor, LaVerne Church of the Brethren
"I like the results we get with your (ECR's) help.
Teachers appreciate your (ECR's) intervention too.
Keep up the good work."
General Comments from students:
"Mediation handled the problem before it got to an
extreme situation"
"Talking helped to get the truth out"
"When people ask us if we are going to fight, we
tell them we have worked it out"
"Now I don't have to give dirty looks or anything
because we're cool"
"Mediation saved our friendship"
"It will keep me out of trouble"
"After talking and listening I felt less
threatened"
