ACR Approved 40 Hour Divorce & Family Mediation Training
For a 40 hour mediation training to be effective it needs to be energizing and even fun. Though the work is about serious stuff, learning about it over 40 intense hours has to include different approaches and an accommodation of personal learning preferences. That’s why we incorporate a variety of approaches from advanced electronics to personal interaction. And, all this has to be done in a comfortable and pleasing place where folks enjoy spending lots of time together. Steve is a Certified Transformative Mediator and trains in a way that helps transform conflict from a negative and destructive force to a positive and constructive part of the dynamic of human interaction.
