    About the Training

     

    This in-depth training course includes the interactive components, guest experts, small group exercises, role plays, and rich discussions that have made it a positive experience.  

    As families face issues related to aging, they often grapple with important decisions about a range of topics such as living arrangements, care giving, driving, family communication, medical care, Powers of Attorney / Health Care Proxies / Guardianship / Conservatorship, financial planning, estate planning, family real estate, and personal property distribution. Conversations around these issues can be emotionally charged and complex.

     

    This program teaches mediators skills and techniques for:

    - working with families in conflict around these and other issues, 

    - convening multi-party family mediations, and 

    - facilitating consensus.  

     

     

    Join Lead trainers Arline Kardasis and Crystal Thorpe, along with guest presenters, for sessions packed with content, skill-building, role plays, and opportunities to interact with fellow participants.
