An extended interactive on-line workshop about how mental health challenges may present in assessment and in mediation and how mediators can provide effective support. We’ll provide plenty of space for group discussion of experience and concerns, and include introductions to specific examples of mental illness and how they may present, an exploration of what mental and emotional capacity might mean in mediation, the mental health and young people, and a compassion-focussed approach to the well-being of mediators and their clients.
