Exploring Bias in Mediation: Yours, Mine and Ours

Before we even speak, we are reacting to the world around us. Explicit and implicit biases help us protect ourselves, and they affect how we choose our reactions and words. As mediators, it is imperative that we recognize and understand our own implicit biases and how they might affect our interaction with clients. This will be an interactive workshop concentrating on understanding, recognizing and working with implicit bias. You will develop a greater awareness of the experience and bias you bring to the mediation table and a knowledge base on how to keep those biases from affecting your impartiality.

Until further notice, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are holding these trainings online via Zoom.  You will be required to provide your own hardware (computer, webcam, and microphone) and an internet connection to participate via Zoom webinar.  You will not need a Zoom account.

Cost is $199
