First 2-day workshop on Marital Mediation given in March, 2010.

After presenting one-day and shorter marital mediation workshops, Laurie Israel and John Fiske, a Cambridge mediator/lawyer realized that a two-day workshop was needed to get practitioners started in this important and helpful area of mediation.  Their training held on March 5-6, 2010,  was a great success, with much material presented, and extraordinary and capable participants.   For a look at the 2-day workshop schedule, see  Laurie’s website www.mediationtostaymarried.com  Laurie’s powerpoints aimed at new marital mediation practicitioners and potential clients (and referral sources) elicited much comment and discussion.  The particular issues of psychotherapists and counselors functioning as mediators was explored.
