The Domestic Relations Mediation Training will continue to develop your communication skills. This training and instructor will focus on using a facilitative model in resolving family conflict. Our content and role-plays will prepare participants to mediate court-order domestic cases: divorce, legitimation, modification of child custody or support, and visitation contempt. Our training aims to prepare participants to facilitate emotional yet meaningful domestic conflict by expanding practical skills to support families with safe and healthy separation.

DISCLAIMER
Our Center and lead trainer, Lee Robbins, has the approval to provide this training. Approval by the GODR does not imply that any particular court program must accept those who complete our training on their roster. Additionally, completion of any state-approved program does not automatically qualify one as a neutral in any particular program. Local court programs have the authority to exercise discretion regarding applicant qualifications and thus may inquire into the training and experience of a neutral.
