Thus, in the field of mediation, the current observation of social relations reveals in first place its growing conflict and in second place, the need of teaching to citizens to deal with the solutions of the conflicts, instead of promoting its appeal in the jurisdictional bodies. This is expressed in the EU Green Paper (COM 2002/196) about alternative modalities on conflicts resolution in the area of civil law, to this end is oriented the development of mediation. Moreover, there are already two Recommendations of the European Union that want that the Member States promote the alternative solution of conflicts with particular emphasis in mediation for family conflicts environment. Mediation is one of the different techniques or tools of conflict resolution and its results are suitable for its application in civil conflicts (family, intergenerational, school and social integration conflicts). These types of civil problems present a specific profile, and for this it require precise attention, to which judges and courts cannot always offer the best solution. To analyse mediation as a useful and effective tool is the objective for the extrajudicial resolution of conflicts and also to discover all its practical effect. The figure of mediation is presented as a tool that can be the key for the understanding of couples who are facing a marriage crisis in the new framework of Family Law. In a modern society so exposed to conflict the support for the study of modern and effective tools that can deactivated it, is claimed, for example mediation. Mediation as a system that attend the parties in the tasks of understanding their dispute, that improve its communication treat it, and that find an agreement, which will promote the respectful and peaceful coexistence between them. Also, the study and dissemination of the figure and task of the mediator as a technician well prepared it is necessary, a third party neutral and impartial in other’s people conflict, who will use all their activity and effort for understanding between parties and who will reflect a common agreement in which are the parties involved the ones that will find and assume the solution to their problems.

Postgraduate Diploma in Chaplaincy (PGDipChap)
What is a Chaplain Task Force Program?
Chaplains hold a vital place within the pastoral ministry. They enter the lives of suffering people during times of serious emotional, physical, and spiritual crisis. They are loving caregivers who stand beside those who are suffering and offer them prayer, encouragement, and spiritual direction. Often, this includes ministry to entire families. As such, chaplains have to be more than just well-meaning volunteers.
Qualified chaplains are deeply committed to Scriptural integrity. Whether in hospice care, hospitals, institutional correctional centers, first responder situations, campuses, or nursing homes, HBI strives for excellence in supporting the special men and women intent on ministering God’s unfailing love to a hurting world.
Christian chaplains are caring men and women of God who demonstrate God’s love for a hurting world by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The following job descriptions demonstrate the wide variety of ways you can serve as a chaplain.
PUBLIC SAFETY CHAPLAINCY: Work within law enforcement agencies such as police, fire and sheriff’s departments.
HOSPICE CARE CHAPLAINS: Work with individuals who are dying and their families. It is very important that Hospice Care Chaplains learn to develop their communication and faith-based skills when working with those who are dying and their families.
PRISON CHAPLAINS: Work in prisons and provide references for the scriptural mandate for prison ministry; explain why believers should be involved in prison ministry; articulate the spiritual goals of jail and prison ministry; and summarize what the Gospel has to offer prison inmates.
DISASTER RELIEF CHAPLAINS: Work on sites and in within communities experiencing devastating disasters, such as floods, tornado and fire aftermath. As a disaster relief chaplain it’s essential that you embody an ability to communicate through the use of proper training.
NURSING HOME CHAPLAINS: Work with elderly people who are often confused, depressed and, in many cases, dying. Nursing home chaplains have to be dedicated, understanding, and have the love of Christ in their hearts to reach out to those who are coming to the end of their lives.
