Register for Role Play Training (In Person)

At DMTA, our 40-hour divorce mediation training includes significant role play opportunities, but it’s never enough! This Role Play Training is a chance for beginner, intermediate, and advanced practitioners to practice their skills and learn from each other in a facilitated role play environment.

This will be our first in-person Role Play Training since March 2020 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic). For those who took their 40-hour divorce mediation training online this is an opportunity to practice your skills in an in-person mediation role play and debrief the experience.

Cost is $100

The training will be taking place on Friday, June 16 2023 from 10:00AM to 3:00PM. A lunch will be provided and a networking social will take place at 3:00 PM at the end of the training and will take place at the office of Ellen Waldorf:

eWaldorf Mediation
383 Elliot Street, Suite 10
Newton Upper Falls, MA 02464

The Role Play Trainings will be organized by and facilitated by Justin Kelsey and Ellen Waldorf.
