This Session is only for current volunteers of Conflict Resolution Center and Mediation and Restorative Services
We have been working this past year to gain a deeper understanding of issues surrounding Elder Mediation. This is a growing area of need and we are reaching out to those of you who are potentially interested in doing Elder Mediations.
The objective of this training is for participants to understand:
- ageism and the problems and issues faced by older adults and their families
- the mental and physical effects of aging and how to accommodate those changes so as to maximize participation in the decision making process of the older adult and other mediation participants
- capacity issues (including elder abuse) and their effect on conducting a safe and fair mediation process
- ethical issues and the unique challenge of elder mediation
- the role and use of support persons/advocates in elder mediation
Trainers:
Ona Lawrence, Conflict Resolution Center’s St. Cloud Program Director, is a mediator and conflict coach. She co-teaches and provides training support for CRC’s mediator trainings in St. Cloud, including 30 Hour Civil Facilitative Hybrid Mediation training and Conflict Consulting training.
