This program is designed to help clinicians understand how the divorce mediation process works from beginning to end. Participants will develop an understanding of the advantages of mediation compared to litigation.
Participants will understand the “client-centered” strategic divorce mediation process, including raising every relevant issue, explaining Arizona law, developing personalized options, strategically facilitating conversations, and guiding parties to their best possible agreements. Participants will understand foundational mediation concepts such as interest-based negotiation, clients’ self-determination, mediator impartiality, balancing, and mediation confidentiality.
