2020 Events
ICCFL training events for the remainder of 2020
Lorri Yasenik and Jon Graham have moved their training online.
The formation of practice-with-peers TM groups is central to the learning environment. We have tried and tested the p-w-p groups and not only do they work, they are fun! Each small p-w-p group meets together either online or in-room, to learn together through discussion and skills practice. Each course is supported by ample tutorial time with Lorri and Jon, and also an extensive library of videos and other materials.
The Online learning allows trainees to login from anywhere. We set about to come up with a timetable that makes attendance manageable across continents and time zones.

2:00pm Eastern - 1 hour for each
Child protection mediations are among the most difficult mediations done by mediators. There are many reasons for this. The subject matter is always difficult and emotionally charged for all parties because you are dealing with children and their caretakers, many of whom have suffered or are suffering from addiction, disabilities or mental health challenges. The breadth of knowledge required encompasses provincial and federal laws, region specific practices, advanced mediation skills, and an understanding of diverse groups and the acute, chronic and complex traumas that have influenced and affected that group or individual intergenerationally. The effect of trauma and stress on the brain architecture and development of children is a complex but important area that will also be touched upon.
This 4-part course will provide an overview of what you need to know to effectively mediate child protection cases. It will also provide some specific trauma informed tools that can assist you in preparing for mediation with high conflict, traumatized parties.
