Nationally Approved 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. View the video reflections of prior participants to see how we measure up.
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.
While the training completely equips participants to begin a divorce and family mediation practice, the skills and understandings acquired allow for mediation in any field or to simply become more effective with people in whatever you do.
Email from Spring 2009 trainee: Hi Steve -
I just wanted to share that I had a family law mediation the other day where both attorneys had called me to warn me that there was "no way the case was going to settle in mediation", which was scheduled for later in the day. Guess what?!? We settled it!! It was very intense and emotional, but both parties settled everything! It was such a great feeling! Thanks again for all that you've taught me!
Letter from trainee:
"Thank you for a terrific 40 hours of training. I had a lot to digest and reflect upon in the week following but a fair, although overly simplistic distilation is just this -- really terrific. It was tremendous to have the benefit of your instruction and your experience and your ability to make everyone feel comfortable and ---enthusiastic about contributing. It elevated the experience for everyone.
I feel fortunate to have been in such a great group and to have seen the way you create an environment where people feel safe putting themselves "out there." Take care and thank you again, Steve."
