Target Audience: This is an INTERACTIVE, online training for mediators who volunteer for the ADR Bureau; to participate most effectively, you will need strong Wi-Fi with a working camera and microphone on your computer. Attendees must be able to attend the full 3-hour training. Attendance is limited.

Join with your community of mediators as we focus on self-care. As mediators, we have learned to trust a set of values, attitudes and skills as we work to empower others. We strive to provide the opportunity for those in our sessions to make new choices to improve their life experience. And yet perhaps too often, and especially in these challenging times, we may find it easier to give this to others than to give to ourselves.
In this session we will:
— Reflect on the relationship between the values, attitudes and skills that we appreciate as mediators and their application in our own lives
— Share new ideas and techniques for taking care of ourselves
