Events

Funded by Scottish Government, SCCR runs a series of free in-person and online training sessions, workshops, seminars and conferences across Scotland. Our events for young people, parents/carers and those working to support families focus on conflict resolution as a means of early intervention which improves relationships and lives, and ultimately reduces youth homelessness.

Our bespoke Mediator and Mediation Skills Training course, accredited by Scottish Mediation, is a training program for professionals and practitioners that not only equips them with the latest in mediation theory and practice but also offers a supportive environment for honing skills. Email sccr@cyrenians.scot for more information about any of our events.

Training

The training examines conflict resolution as a life skill which can be used by anyone irrespective of their role. Training and events are open to parents/carers and young people to attend and we welcome participation from everyone.

Collaboration

SCCR designs and delivers training for organisations and groups across Scotland. We can deliver training in-house to organisations or groups, and we are keen to work in partnership with others. If you are interested in hosting a training event or have an idea for a seminar or local event, please contact us via sccr@cyrenians.scot.

    • Event Feedback

    "[Today I learned about the] different ways to solve conflict, different types of conflict, how to handle emotions and about our brains."

    Young Person Emotions and the Brain session (2026)

    "I have made use of SCCR training and resources online to support a young person following incidents where they hadn't coped. Using two of the videos allowed the young person to open-up and have the language to talk about their feelings in terms of Lizard and Monkey brain. It was the first time the young person has been able to talk about a situation and reflect on what happened."

    Professional/Practitioner/Volunteer Understand, Communicate and Resolve (2026)

    "As a new carer, [the SCCR training] was very informative. [I] got some contacts from others and will use them as needed. [I heard] good training tips and others’ stories. "
