Mediator Professional Development
CRS offers workshops and seminars for Mediators and other Practitioners who work in the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
- CRS professional development sessions cover a range of topics to provide professional development opportunities to those who utilize and practice dispute resolution.
- Practitioners can expand on existing practice and knowledge with current information in order to achieve exceptional outcomes for clients.
- With lively discussions on theory and practice with industry peers, sessions are an excellent forum for sharing experiences and gaining new insights.
- Practical exercises allow participants to develop new skills or refine established techniques.
- Group Supervision sessions allows mediators to share their practical experiences of cases they have worked on by talking through what worked, the challenges, what they learnt. Mediator supervision sessions are an excellent opportunity to ask peers and the group supervisor for assistance on improving practices, techniques and how to handle a certain type of mediation/client in future.
