Class Materials - Family Mediation Training (June, 2024)
The materials for the June 11, 12, 13, 19, & 20, 2024 40-Hour Family Mediation Training are being finalized at this time. Please check back on Monday, June 10, 2024 to access the final materials for this training.
Welcome! We are excited to spend some time with you to learn about Family Mediation. This training qualifies the participant to be on the Rule 114 Qualified Neutral Family Roster. Carl Arnold, an experienced Family Mediator and Mediation Instructor, will guide you through this training, but there are also several other highly qualified speakers who will join us and share their extensive, specialized knowledge. This will be an interactive training, so don't hesitate to raise your hand or type a question in the Zoom Chat. We don't expect you to print all the materials below. There are a few that we will recommend that you print and we will call those out as we progress through the training.
Below, under each date of the training materials, you'll see a link to a short feedback survey. We ask that you complete a short survey at the end of each day by clicking on the link for that day. We really look forward to having you in this training and appreciate your feedback!
