Mediators working in separation and divorce and other high conflict mediations need to understand and manage emotional intensity and challenges specific to this area of practice. This course prepares mediators to manage aspects of high conflict mediations, including safety screening, dealing with parties experiencing poor mental health, addictions issues, personality disorders, trauma, and/or anger.
Mediators will be equipped with the tools to determine whether to proceed, and to mediate what can be high conflict discussions.
