<p>Integrative Mediation (IM) is a pioneering approach to conflict resolution that pairs a conflict resolution professional with a psychotherapist or mental health professional to address all aspects of a dispute: legal, financial, psychological -- and emotional. By addressing the underlying emotional issues of the parties, IM seeks to improve the odds of a more efficient, cost-effective process and the achievement of a deeper, more lasting resolution. The pairings may consist of a lawyer, financial planner, or mediator working alongside a mental health professional. Using this holistic approach, parties in conflict are far more likely to resolve their legal, business, and/or family disputes quickly and in a more rational and sustainable manner.</p>
<p>In this webinar, Kathleen Adams. LCSW outlines the foundational theory of IM and spells out the advantages and limitations of shared conflict resolution. She shares real-world examples of IM-based resolutions and data that support this approach.</p>
<p>Who should attend:</p>
<p>>> Professionals who believe that no conflict is fully resolved until the underlying emotional conflicts have been addressed <br/>>> Mediators working to enhance and expand their practice<br/>>> Attorneys, psychotherapists and other professionals seeking to create professional relationships outside of their domain</p>
<p>Hosted by Virtual Mediation Lab, this free 1-hour webinar is sponsored by the Association for Conflict Resolution Family Section.</p>
<p>When: September 20, 2017 2:00pm Eastern Time. Admission is free, but seating is limited.</p>

<p>Face-to-Face Mediation v Online Mediation<br/>After that mediation simulation, all 3 mediators and their coach participated in a debriefing session (not shown in that video), to reflect on what happened during that mediation, and to analyze both the parties' experience and the effectiveness of the mediator's approach.</p>
<p>One key question for the mediator, crucial for understanding better how mediating online can affect a mediator's behavior and decisions was: "Juliette, if you had mediated this case face-to-face, would you have done anything differently than what you did online?". Her answer was short and clear: "No".</p>

<p>Abstract</p>
<p> The conflict in families disputing child custody cases across international borders continues to grow worldwide resulting in an epidemic of parental abduction. Governments and international bodies continue to work toward creating effective solutions through cross border family mediation programs. Ensuring a voluntary process that does not culturally alienate or marginalize participants is a challenge that often creates ethical dilemmas that may go unnoticed, minimized or ignored. When an individual is marginalized or disenfranchised during any alternative dispute resolution process as a result of cultural dilemmas, inequitability is created. Cultural bias and ignorance limits or prevents creative exploration of problem solving strategies, forcing parties into predesigned agreements. In 2012, the Hague Bureau on Private International Law released the first publication on mediation standards and guide for cross border family mediation as an extension of international family law. Building on these efforts, this paper provides a look at how culture shapes identity and influences problem solving in a multicultural context through a review of the literature and actual case examples.</p> ADRhub.com Webinar (Aug/2013): Introduction To Cross Border Family Mediationtag:www.adrhub.com,2013-08-05:4905899:Topic:519132013-08-05T01:03:53.955ZJeff Thompsonhttp://www.adrhub.com/profile/JeffThompson

<p><span>In 2009, the Council on General Affairs and Policy of the Hague Conference on Private International Law authorized the establishment of a Working Party to promote the development of mediation structures to help resolve cross-border family disputes concerning custody of, or contact with, children, including cases of unilateral removal of a child to another State, where the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and the Hague Convention. Research indicates that the vast percentage of children kidnapped across international borders by a parent or relative come from bicultural homes with each parent holding different nationalities. With 1 in 7 marriages reported as bicultural in the USA in 2010, international family law, especially child custody has expanded to include cross border family mediation. The effects on the child include a large range of attachment disorders. Defined as child abuse, parental kidnapping is addressed in civil and criminal law. Prevention of abduction is examined through Hague mediation. Post abduction presents unique challenges which predispose traditional family mediation as being inappropriate, according to the American Bar Association, Center on Children and the law.</span></p>

<p>There is limited consensus about the term “shared parenting” after separation and divorce. It may refer to parenting time, quality, decision making or responsibilities; it has multiple labels, including joint or split custody, access, time sharing and parallel parenting. Many believe shared parenting to be a worthy goal; others caution against presumptions and unintended consequences. Join AFCC for this ongoing conversation about the pros, cons, challenges and opportunities that shared parenting presents for children, families, practitioners, researchers, policymakers and advocates.</p>
