Virtual Domestic Relations Training 2024 offered by center in August

Oakland Mediation Center (OMC), an Oakland County mediation and conflict resolution training facility, invites legal professionals to Virtual Domestic Relations Training 2024.

The 12-half day State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) approved Domestic Relations Training is designed to teach participants the skills necessary to act as mediators in facilitating the resolution of disputes. By the end of the training participants will be able to identify the various conflict management styles and how they can be used in dealing with conflict; define issues, positions, interests, and emotions and explore why they are important in mediation; manage the emotional climate in mediation and manage power imbalances and conditions; and much more. This training includes the 8-Hour Domestic Violence Screening Training.

“OMC has been dedicated to providing quality mediation training for over 35 years,” said Charity Burke, OMC Executive Director. “Our training is designed to give participants, from all backgrounds, skills they can use immediately to serve and make a lasting impact on our community.”

The training will be held August 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, from 1 to 5 p.m. each day online via Zoom. The cost of training is $1,590. Participants will receive a detailed mediation manual containing reproducible mediation forms, as well as a certificate of attendance. Those completing their training at OMC become eligible for discounts on practical experience opportunities.

OMC’s trainings are approved by SCAO and are designed to be highly interactive and skill based. For addition information about this training and others, contact Jennifer Lintol, education coordinator, at 248-338-4280 ext 222 or jlintol@mediation-omc.org.
