***To register visit our website at http://www.pccdr.org*** This is a 3-day advanced training for mediators presented by the · Mediators who have completed their basic 40-hour training
· Family workers, therapists, counselors, teachers, youth workers This training includes a combination of class discussion and lecture, small group exercises, and simulated role-plays gleaned from common parent/teen conflicts in mediation. Common issues in Parent/Teen mediation include: communication, respect, trust, school performance and behavior, curfew, friends, appearance, freedom. The goals of p/t mediation are to bring accountability, consistency, and communication between parents and families. Parent/teen mediation, perhaps more so than most applications of mediation, is truly about the process rather than the outcome. While agreements are considered one of the goals of the process, it is the process itself that impacts the family so effectively; walking the family through the stages of the process while modeling effective communication skills. The training model encourages families to mediate 2-4 sessions over a period of weeks/months.

Explore the psychology of decision-making and the challenge of negotiating the gap between dreams and reality. Learn techniques to introduce reality testing, dance with irrational ideas, and reach closure. Practice navigating potholes to reach “resolution,” not just “settlement.” We will explore these topics from both the advocate’s and the mediator’s perspective. Together, we will discuss the mechanics of how to ethically deal with the parties’ expectations surrounding mediator approaches and advocate participation. We will conclude with a discussion of best practices for mediators and advocates. The course is not “touchy-feely-psycho-babble” or “confusing legalese.” It is about straight talk and getting conflict resolved! 7.25 CLEs for Attorneys 7.25 CEUs for Psychologists, Licensed Social Workers, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and Licensed Mental Health Counselors September 10, 2010 8:30am – 5:30pm “Breaking Impasse” Workshop: $120 ($95 ‘Early Bird’ rate – register before 08/25) $100 Active DRC of King County Volunteers & Students ($75 ‘Early Bird’ rate – register before 08/25) Domestic Violence Awareness Workshop For Mediators and Other Professionals When: Thursday, August 5th from 9:00am-6:00pm Friday, August 6th from 9:00am-4:00pm Where: Eagles Nest Survivor’s Story, Impact of Domestic Violence on Children, Legal Issues, Screening: To Mediate or Not to Mediate, Skill Sets for the Mediator-Lawyer-Counselor-Resource Person-Case Manager, Ethical Consideration for Lawyers and Mediators Involved in the Process, Managing DV through Protection- Information- Empowerment- and Modeling, Power Imbalances.
