ABOUT THE INTRODUCTORY TRAINING

What would it feel like to help clients divorce peacefully, privately, and with dignity? Wouldn’t it be great to consistently work with professionals whom you know, trust, like, and respect? Learn how to offer Collaborative services and get involved in your Collaborative Law community in this highly engaging two-day Introductory Interdisciplinary Collaborative Family Law training. This course is intended for attorneys, mental health professionals, financial professionals, mediators, and others who believe there is a better way to help clients through difficult times.

At our two-day Introductory Training, participants will do the following:

Learn how and why collaborative practice was developed
Discover the essential paradigm shift that allows collaborative professionals to succeed
Review the Uniform Collaborative Law Act or jurisdiction-specific statutes/rules
Explore and enhance option development techniques
Identify the distinction between interest-based discussion and positional bargaining
Obtain a step-by-step guide on how a collaborative case typically proceeds
Participate in discipline-specific break-outs and Q & A sessions
Engage in a discussion on collaborative practice and professional ethics
Exchange ideas on marketing to foster the development of a collaborative practice
Learn how to grow and re-energize your local collaborative community

TAKEN THE INTRO BEFORE?

We know that many professionals have taken the intro training before and may only be interested in the advanced trainings when they come to town. We offer advanced trainings later in the year, but have found that experienced collaborative professionals repeat the intro training as well. Feedback from these professionals has informed us that they feel a refresher in the process is helpful, that they learn new skills, and update their knowledge on the law and creative ways to help their clients divorce collaboratively.
