Mia is a trainer for the MIC (Mediating Interpersonal Conflict). "This training is powerful because it teaches others who care about mediation to become a neutral third party to help others resolve their conflicts." Mia has taught Conflict Resolution and Mediation and Conciliation at Manchester University.
"The work of ECR is so important for our communities. It is important that the tools of conflict resolution are in as many hands as possible. This leads to more peaceful, productive, healthy
communities."

Theresa Onderko
Mediator and Trainer
Theresa Onderko, former Director of ECR/Manchester University Collaboration and Mediation Services Coordinator, co-leading the Winter of 2016 Mediating Interpersonal Conflict Training.
"My work began in January 2016, as I stepped into the role of Director of the ECR-Manchester University Collaboration. I learned of ECR, however, as a student of Manchester University, taking both Human Conflict and the Psychology of Mediation and Conciliation courses. Later, and after I returned to live in North Manchester, I worked as the Mediation Services Coordinator. My primary occupation at the time was undergoing some changes and I was unable to remain with ECR. Coming back to this organization has been enjoyable, familiar, and teeming with endless possibilities."
