For Immediate Release
Public Service Announcement Three nonviolent communication (NVC) workshops facilitated by certified NVC trainers will be offered to the public in October. The workshops are sponsored by Mercy Regional Medical Center and will be held at Trimble Hot Springs Starlight Room from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 6, 7 and 8. “Basic Nonviolent Communication” is scheduled Monday, Oct. 6; “NVC as Spiritual Practice” is slated for Tuesday, Oct. 7; and “Mediation with NVC” will be held Wednesday, Oct. 8. Cost is $20 for each session. The workshops will be facilitated by Jim and Jori Manske of the Albuquerque Center for Nonviolent Communication and Mary Mackenzie of the Flagstaff Center for Compassionate Communication. They are being held in conjunction with other NVC seminars for Mercy staff and employees that week. Participants will learn how to use Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s model for compassionate communication, a model used in healthcare, peacekeeping, educational and economic settings worldwide. Workshop members will learn how to deal with major blocks to communication such as demands, diagnoses and blaming, receiving critical and hostile messages without taking them personally, giving in or losing self-esteem. Mercy has trained more than 150 of its employees in the nonviolent communication during the past year as part of a mission initiative goal to improve communication among hospital workers. “Clear communication among colleagues is an asset to the hospital’s ability to provide continued outstanding patient and family care. Exposing the community to NVC is a way of promoting a healthier community,” said Mission Leader and NVC Coordinator Diana McKenna.
