Learn how your client will benefit by preparing for their Family Court Services mediation/Child Custody Recommending Counseling session. This workshop explains what clients will learn when they prepare; the flow of the mediation session, how to make parenting plan proposals, special needs children and resources, and, how to stay calm. In an interactive discussion, participants will also learn what not to tell their clients.
