Pending Ethics CLE credit application!

What should a mediator do when mental health issues arise during the course of a mediation? What do our ethical standards require? What can a mediator do to prepare in advance for the possibility that mental illness or mental health issues may be present? Join co-presenters Sharon Press and Nikki Knisely as they lead a discussion about the questions that may arise as we navigate mental illness and mental health issues in the context of mediation and the factors that mediators need to consider in answering these questions.  

Please note that this presentation will be interactive and done in the Zoom Meeting format.
