Family mediation is an empowering process for people separating or divorcing. District courts throughout Minnesota require parties filing for divorce to consider alternative dispute resolution processes during the course of their court case. If you are already a trained civil mediator and are interested in becoming trained to mediate family mediation cases, completion of this class means you are eligible to apply to be on the Minnesota Rule 114 Family Facilitative Hybrid Qualified Neutral Roster.
In this class we will cover: family law; psychological issues of adults and children in divorce; domestic abuse; financial and property issues, and mediator ethics in family cases. Class also includes role plays, coaching and debriefing.
