Mediation Institute Training Update: October 2021
Final FGC Workshop for 2020
Message from Joanne,
Wherever you are we hope that you and your family are doing well and hopeful of being able to reunite soon if you are separated by national or international travel restrictions or lockdowns. I know I am desperately keen to see my children and grandchildren in person and as someone based in Melbourne that is still a bit of a way off.
Speaking of families, the next and last for the year Family Group Conference Facilitator training workshops are scheduled for October 2021. If you would like to become certified as a Family Group Conference Facilitator the course is available fully online and this time we will have students from New York state and Cambodia joining us. Find out more – Family Group Conference Facilitation
We are also working with our friends from Emverio Workplace Solutions on a professional development training on pre-mediation for workplace mediators. This course is made up of a short theory course, a webinar and skills development session.

What our students say










Opportunity would be to refresh the role play scenarios but I believe that is happening. Also to update the videos of the role plays, I found these to be very helpful, maybe make them shorter Also I would have liked training on the pre mediation - and I believe that is also coming soon !!! Thanks again, you are all so dedicated and passionate and that made the whole experience enjoyable
