This 40 Hour Training includes a comprehensive introduction to mediation practice theory, practice, and skills development as well as ethics and practice development considerations.  Ceecee and John will provide an intensive, hands-on interactive, skills-based program  with on line resources and use of role-play simulation exercises in which every student participates as an observer, in role play and as a mediator during the course of the program.  Graduates of prior trainings by Ceecee have praised her programs for her effectiveness, comprehensive scope and practical approach to the mediation process. The addition of John brings a strong civil mediation viewpoint.  Graduates come away with useful information and practice and guides as to how to approach the development of a mediation practice. Outside reading completes and complements the training.  Training meets the requirements of Maryland Rule 17-205 for court mediation rosters.
