20-Hour Advanced Family Mediation Training
Coming in July

This 20 hour class will help mediators refine their skills and gain knowledge to help clients write detailed parenting plans. Participants will gain knowledge of family dynamics, the nuts and bolts of parenting plan paperwork, how to identify and deal with domestic violence characteristics and other specific tools to help clients move to resolution. This training is designed for community mediators to gain practical knowledge and practice skills. Training will be offered in partnership with the Dispute Resolution Center of Kitsap County. Completion of a an approved 40-hour basic mediation training is required prior to taking this course.

Top reasons to take this training now
1. Should the Hargrove Bill gain the additional funding it is seeking for mediation, we will potentially be getting many more referrals for family (parenting plan/dissolution) from Superior Court.
2. We have not had this training for quite some time in our area and we can all use this valuable information to update the skills and knowledge we may have received from a previous training.
3. Some of you may have never had this advanced training and it will really benefit you and the clients you work with by having these specific tools.
4. This training would take care of all 8 (and more) of the hours that the we ask you to have in continuing education to be a mediator with the PDRC.
5. Because we will have great food. (Always a big plus if you ask me)
6. The price is lower than it has ever been before and covers all materials and food.

$75.00 for PDRC volunteers
$125.00 for out of area
