Some or all of the tips and tools of this method can be used with any mediation. \nAfter this training\, you will: \n\nhave the necessary skills for handling high conflict mediations\nexperience increased confidence as you settle into the specific structure of this method\nlet go of feeling responsible for the outcome\n\nPrerequisite: It is recommended that you have already taken some introductory training in Dealing with High Conflict Personalities with Michael Lomax or the High Conflict Institute. \nMediate BC Roster mediators will receive 20% off the full regular course registration fee.
