Fees:

VMN 2020 Members $10 

Non Members $40

Trauma can substantially impact our mediation clients' behaviors, thus potentially jeopardizing their ability to make rational decisions, rather than ones triggered by defensive and protective psychological mechanisms.  In this workshop, mediators will learn how to recognize clients' behaviors that might be a result of trauma, and best practices regarding how to proceed in mediation if those behaviors occur.

 2.0 Non Ethics CME Approved!
