Much of mediation relies upon information processing and the process of making decisions. Many of the difficulties in the early stages of mediation involve obstacles in communication and understanding. Likewise, many elements impact the decision-making process, which relies on such information. This interactive, advanced training provides and in-depth examination of such obstacles, and skill and strategies for recognizing, addressing and overcoming them. The training will also address effective approaches to dealing with difficult personalities in mediation. The 40-Hour Basic Mediation training and experience mediating are pre-requisites for this course. Due to the extremely interactive nature of the course, space is limited.
