Want to help people communicate more effectively and make better decisions?
Our Community Mediation program has a full lineup of upcoming trainings:

 

Facilitation:

Professional skills to help groups set goals, clarify tasks, make decisions and create strategic plans.

 

Circles Process, Levels 1 & 2: This respectful method of communication helps groups resolve critical issues, build community and hear all sides of an issue.

 

Basic Mediation: Our 40-hour basic-skills course prepares participants to mediate a variety of workplace and personal conflicts.

 

Eldercare Mediation: Designed for mediators and other professionals who work with the elderly, this class addresses family dynamics and aging issues that impair communication.

 

Dates, details & RSVP info.

School's out, but the new year is just around the corner -- and Our Family could use your help making sure the homeless and at-risk young people in our programs have the supplies they need to succeed.

 

Backpacks, thermal lunch sacks, reusable water bottles, folders, notebooks, pens, pencils, paper, and art supplies such as markers and crayons are always in demand.

 

Essentials such as new underwear and socks are also appreciated.

 

Contact Janeen Delgado for details if your workplace, church, or service club would like to conduct a school-supplies drive.

What have you done this summer?

The kids in our La Escuelita literacy and enrichment program at the House of Neighborly Service in South Tucson have been busy. A trip to South Tucson's Fire Department, visits from Gabriel's Angels pet therapy teams, and outings to museums and parks have made for a fun-filled summer of learning and adventure!
