Description
This New Ways for Families® Pre-Mediation Coaching Manual is designed for lawyers, counselors and mediators to use in coaching mediation clients – ideally before the mediation begins. This coaching can occur in one or two sessions, including use of the writing exercises contained in the Pre-Mediation Workbook for clients. It is designed to be used with the New Ways for Families Pre-Mediation Coaching training provided by the High Conflict Institute.
This Coaching Manual and the client’s Workbook were designed for parents dealing with separation and divorce using principles from the New Ways for Families® method; however, it can be used with any client before any mediation, even if there are no children or family issues. This model is particularly beneficial for potentially high-conflict parents or parties who would benefit from learning the skills prior to mediation, but do not require intensive counseling. Learning the skills prior to mediation should make for a more effective mediation process.
