Helping Parents Communicate Better



As every family mediator knows the breakdown of communication and of trust are frequent causes of parental conflict. The long term success of any arrangements made for children depends on their parents’ ability to communicate effectively and establish a sufficient degree of trust. To do this, parents may need to learn new ways of approaching problems, making shared decisions and resolving disagreements.


This seminar will provide an opportunity for family mediators to consider how they can help couples to communicate better, accept differences and co-parent more effectively.





Conflict Management Styles and Human Needs
– Understanding Yourself in Conflict



As mediators and conflict resolution practitioners, we know that conflict is a daily occurrence and that the key issue is not whether we have conflict or not, but what we do with it when it happens.


How do you manage conflict? What is your preferred style? What human needs are more significant for you and how does this impact conflict in your life? Can understanding your mediation participants’ deeper needs help you to become a better mediator?


We feel safer and develop better practice as professionals by understanding our reactions to conflict. This two-hour workshop will help you discover your preferred conflict management style and why understanding people's needs, as much as your own, is fundamental in our self-reflective journey as a mediator.




Preparing Parents for Child Inclusive Mediation



Separation can create numerous challenges for parents at a time when they are trying to cope with their own emotional breakdown. Many parents feel emotionally battered and drained, day to day life can feel impossible ‘it’s hard to cope with anyone else’s needs even your child’s.’


As family mediators we must inform our participants about Child Inclusive Mediation. How should we do this in a sensitive way, manage expectations and prepare parents for Child Inclusive Mediation.


This two-hour course will consider the Family Mediation Council Code of Practice requirements and how to put this into practice.
