Family mediation provides mediators with a wide variety of contexts and dilemmas.  This course, for experienced mediators, will focus on six core themes and sets of tools to help you to deepen your skill set and work toward becoming a stronger and more productive mediator. Participants will choose one strand to follow throughout. 

THREE STRANDS:
Divorce and couples’ mediation:  working with couples married, unmarried or post- divorce to resolve conflicts.
Juvenile mediation: working with those under the age of 18 in court, family or other contexts to resolve conflicts involving adults. Facilitating family meetings.
Elder/multi-generational mediation: working with contexts involving elders including end of life, estate and long-standing family conflicts.

During each session, participants will work with the whole group and also have break-out sessions to work with those in their chosen strand.

Family Mediators can feel a lot of pressure to manage behaviours that block productive dialogue and get in the way of finding meaningful solutions. And yet, our dominant negotiation model falls short when it comes to addressing the irrational and demanding behaviors and the (understandably) strong emotions that we experience in our work.

Insight Mediation offers a theoretically sound foundation for working with conflict behaviours in a way that doesn’t threaten, facilitating dialogue rather than debate. It is being lauded as the “fourth pillar” of conflict resolution and divorce professionals are describing it as “transformative”, “sensible, deep and practical” and even “life-changing”.
