May 19Chevy Chase MDListening, Communication and the Brain: Using Science to Enhance Your Work with Conflict and Challenging Cases Professionals in law, mediation, mental health, finance and the courts often work with difficult people without the benefit of the most recent knowledge of how a person's brain functions and the impact of that functioning on how one listens to another to resolve difficult issues in the best way possible. The way in which we listen is an important part of triggering the brain of the receiver to respond in different ways. Our brain based training is for a wide range of professionals who work with individuals and couples when the client is under stress which has a significant impact on how the brain will respond, what the brain is capable of doing and the eventual outcome of the work the professional is doing with that client. By learning how the brain functions and using specific listening skills, we as professionals can have a significant impact on reducing the influence of stress in our clients and helping them to function from their higher order brain than their primitive brain.

July 18Philadelphia PAAdvanced Mediator Training 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.
