I am finding increasingly positive intersections between collaborative
practice and mediation. These include similar foundational skills,
cross-referrals, incorporation of interdisciplinary collaborative team roles
in mediation, and involvement of mediators in some collaborative cases. In
my experience, an open discussion of process options with prospective
clients has generally resulted in clients choosing mediation or
collaboration. Though our state collaborative council does not mandate
mediation training, we are currently offering reasonably priced 3-day
mediation training for our interdisciplinary members and others who want to
attend. I have included the announcement below for anyone who is
interested.
