40 Hour Family and Divorce Mediation Training - 2025 Fall Virtual Edition
Mediation is designed to resolve differences both in and out of the courts, and requires a very different mindset than courtroom litigation. Join us for this Master Series program that focuses solely on family and divorce cases and trains practitioners to resolve these type of conflicts in a non-adversarial, non-confrontational manner. The program is offered via the Internet over the course of 13 weeks. The training covers the following topics: Conflict resolution skills; Mediation process, skills, and techniques; Ethics and professional responsibility requirements of mediators; Family law; Mediating property, support, and maintenance issues; Psychological impact of family conflict, separation, and dissolution on parents, children, and other participants; Issues and needs of children in family conflict, separation, and dissolution, including considerations on child development and participation of children in mediation; Impact of culture and diversity on family conflicts; and Screening for and addressing domestic/family violence, child abuse/neglect, substance abuse, and mental health concerns. Attendees will receive a copy of Family Mediation: Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition, 2015 by Jane C. Murphy and Robert Rubinson, which will be mailed to registrants prior to the program’s start date.
