ELDERCARE AND PROBATE MEDIATION TRAINING (MTCI)

This 2 day Eldercare and Probate Mediation training focuses on Adult Guardianship and Family Caregiver Mediation as well as mediation after the death of a parent. Adult Guardianship and Family Caregiver mediation are quite different from other types of mediation. Probate mediation is similar to civil mediation, but the emotions are often at an extreme.  We focus on inclusion of the older person's voice in the mediation and techniques for working in multiparty family mediations. At the conclusion of the training, participants will be prepared to organize and perform Elder Mediations. Meant for both mediators and possible participants in mediation, this is an advanced training for those who have already taken basic mediation training and an introduction to Elder Mediation for those who have not.

  • Guardianship/conservatorship law and practice
