Advanced Mediator Training
Philadelphia, Pa.5356 Chew Ave.
For experienced Family Mediators, this workshop complies with the Pennsylvania Court Rule 1940.5 continuing education requirement. The six-hour agenda includes:
Recognizing Power Imbalance and Need for Empowerment in Mediation: Power imbalances create significant challenges. They are difficult to detect and more difficult to address. This training/workshop will look at defining and recognizing power imbalance and lack of power; screening for non-domestic violence power imbalances; problems power imbalances cause; handling power imbalances and lack of power in mediation; the role of attorneys where there are power imbalances and use of collaborative professionals where there are power imbalances.
Working With Attorneys in Family Mediation: In the past, mediators have wanted to do their work with lawyers in the background. This has often resulted in lawyers distrusting mediation. This workshop will present a protocol for working with lawyers as part of a team and inviting them to be part of the main act. The goal is more appreciation of mediation by attorneys and more appreciation of attorneys by mediators.
Pennsylvania Domestic Relations Legal Update: Recent changes in family law will be presented and discussed.
Costs: $150 (no CLEs); $200 (includes 6 CLEs; 5 substantive and 1 ethics)
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

"...my feelings about the mediation process changed significantly, opening my mind to a new way of bringing people with adverse positions together....
I encourage all family law practitioners to spend one week of their careers for training in facilitative mediation techniques at your facility."
