Advanced Trainings

Community Boards’ Advanced Trainings target important topics that are integral for becoming successful mediators. Our training leaders are specialists in their respective fields, bringing personal expertise developed through their own, hands-on professional practices.

MAY 5 & MAY 12: Elder Mediation*
Presented by: John O’Grady and Special Guests
In this advanced two-day Elder Mediation training, we’ll develop the many skills needed to mediate in the growing field of elder and inheritance conflicts.

Participants will learn about the many significant issues unique to elder mediation:  the ability to work with estate planning and related documents, the grief process, questions of functional and cognitive impairment and legal capacity, care agreements, sibling rivalry, financial elder abuse, ageism, and end-of-life concerns.

We’ll discuss strategies for working with the multiple parties involved, preserving and healing relationships and overcoming impasse.  We’ll also consider ethical, settlement and confidentiality issues particular to this specialized field.

Training topics will include:

  • Aging and the Control Issue:  What You See Is Not What You Get
  • Estate Planning Basics & the Law
  • Family Meetings: Opportunities to Communicate
  • Death & Lawyers: Grief & The Gifts That Come with It
  • Denial, Grieving and the Consequences of a “Cheap Trust”
  • Mediation Strategies with Our Elders
  • Crafting Agreements
