PANEL PRESENTATION: "Family Mediation: It’s Not Just for Divorce Anymore"
PARTICIPANTS: Beth L. Aarons, JD, MSW, moderator; Halee Burg, JD; David A. Kellem, JD; Lisa J. Marino, JD; Ben Stich, LICSW, M.Ed; Crystal Thorpe, MSW, MBA; and John G. Wofford, Esq.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Join our panel of experienced mediators as we look beyond divorce to take a tour of other family issues ripe for mediation, including:
- Guardianships
- Neighbor Disputes
- Open Adoption
- Parent-Teen Mediation
- Housing Decisions of Aging Relatives
- Family Business
- Inheritance Disputes
- Second Homes
- Philanthropy
Whether you’re considering adding practice areas to your own family mediation offerings, or just want to learn about creative techniques your colleagues use and some of the challenges of mediating these topics, we hope to provide a widened perspective of the types of family issues that can be mediated.
ABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS:
*** FOR MEMBERS ONLY ***
"Ask the Mediator" is now “Mediator Meet-Up”!

“Mediator Meet-Up” is a casual get-together for conversation and connection before each Professional Development Workshop. There’s no set agenda . . . just an informal opportunity to ask questions and share ideas while getting better acquainted with your colleagues. New to MCFM? We’d love to meet you! Not so new to MCFM? Catch up and contribute your thoughts to the conversation.
The session will run from 1:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. If you would like to participate, please sign up using the "Register Now" link.
