Consisting of two modules, this program is designed to introduce and familiarize participants with a broad approach to the process of Family Dispute Resolution.

In Module 1 participants will learn about an approach to family dispute resolution that invites disputants to explore their parenting roles in depth while working on a redefinition of their parenting partnership. The module begins with a review of the problem-solving approach to mediation before introducing other ways of working in a narrative and transformative way. It concludes with a consideration of ways in which participants can integrate these approaches in a new and comprehensive approach that accounts for disputing parents' emotional states and their desire to provide the best for their children following separation.

Module 2 builds on the approach to consider specific issues including the Parenting Alliance Session, the inclusion of children in the work and an introduction to approaches to mediating financial matters.

Outcomes: At the end of this program, participants will:

•  Have an understanding of the complexities of working with families in dispute resolution

•  Have developed knowledge and some skills in working within a family dispute            resolution framework

•  Understand the special issues in working with culturally diverse clients in a family           dispute resolution model

•  Have an awareness of the role of family violence and child abuse in working with           separating families and the importance of comprehensive assessment of these issues

•  Have knowledge of specific approaches and issues in family dispute resolution,            including the use of family alliance sessions, how to involve children in the work

    and approaches to mediating financial issues.
