<div class=""><span class=""><b class=""><i class="">About the Elder / Adult Family Mediation Training:</i></b></span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">As families face issues related to aging, they often grapple with important decisions about a range of topics such as living arrangements, care giving, driving, family communication, medical care, Powers of Attorney / Health Care Proxies / Guardianship / Conservatorship, financial planning, estate planning, family real estate, and personal property distribution. Conversations around these issues can be emotionally charged and complex.</span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">This program teaches mediators skills and techniques for:</span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">- Working with families in conflict around these and other issues, </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">- Convening multi-party family mediations, and </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">- Facilitating consensus. </span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">Cases involving adult families are challenging and rewarding on a number of levels. The skills, techniques, and principles discussed in the training are transferable to mediation in other contexts, and past participants have often remarked about the mediation “gems” they have received and “aha moments” they have experienced that have helped deepen their mediation work. </span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">Join trainers Arline Kardasis and Crystal Thorpe, along with guest presenters, for sessions packed with content, skill-building, role plays, and opportunities to interact with fellow participants.

<div class=""><span class=""><b class=""><i class="">What Previous Participants Are Saying: </i></b></span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">"Thank you all for the excellent program… - the presentations were excellent, the materials just the type of thing that I will use in the future as a reference tool. Obviously you have devoted much time, thought, and effort to creating this workshop - your work has paid off for the participants!"</span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">“You offered a great training, and one that opened windows both into eldercare practice and your inclusive, evolving approach to mediation. You are trailblazers and I’ve already thought of ways to incorporate a number of your approaches into certain circumstances that may arise more generally in mediation. So, again, all my gratitude.”</span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">“Elder Decisions®’ Advanced Elder Mediation Training...was excellent; actually the best I have ever experienced. It was well organized (and) the subject matter was completely covered. (This was) the most sequentially programmed and clearly presented (training) I have yet attended.”</span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">“This exceeded my expectations! The Elder Decisions® Mediation Training makes a compelling case for why we need to step up to this national challenge and makes it possible for mediators to step into these critical but delicate family conversations. I got a great return on my investment: information-dense, practical, inspiring — allowing me to extend my company’s services to meet this growing demand.”</span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""> </span></div>
<div class=""><span class="">"I'm still raving to everyone how valuable I found the training and how I enjoyed all of the presenters."</span></div>

<p><strong>Description: The Enneagram is a dynamic system of 9 personality types. </strong>It is meant to help us understand ourselves, the people in our lives, and our relationship to greater realities that guide us. <strong>How well in tune we are with our internal state, or how self-aware we are has a strong influence on how we ‘do’ conflict.</strong> With a better understanding of conscious motivations, we can <strong>reduce our personal reactivity and better handle difficult situations</strong>.</p>
<p>Participants first take a short Enneagram inventory, then break into small groups to share strengths, weaknesses, and to discuss conflict experiences. <strong>Louise Phipps Senft</strong> leads the workshop in the narrative tradition, so attendees can deepen their learning with others. Participants will <strong>come away with a deeper understanding of self and other relationships </strong>in their lives. If you are looking to <strong>improve your relationships</strong> with individuals that matter the most, whether it be <strong>children, parents, family members, or co-workers</strong>, the Enneagram workshop is an invaluable experience.</p>
