NC-CAN is excited to be hosting its annual Advanced Collaborative Law Training and to welcome this year’s guest facilitator, David Hoffman. David is a deeply experienced mediator, arbitrator, collaborative law attorney from Boston Law Collaborative, and professor at Harvard Law teaching mediation, collaborative law, and diversity.
This advanced training will focus on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy and psychological paradigm as it relates to collaborative divorce and mediation. David has been leading the introduction of IFS as a tool for the mediator and collaborative attorney’s toolbox, a way to help view and work with our clients’ defenses, reactions, skills, and thought processes. We are excited to share this full-day training as a way to bring the skills of IFS into our varied ADR practices.
The training will also include a brief overview of non-violent communication (NVC) and some compare and contrast discussions about the ways the tools differ and also complement one another. We will also include robust role-playing and experiential learning throughout the day.
Because this is an advanced training, and to try to fit as much education in as possible, participants will be required to view a 1-hour video introduction to IFS, as well as review materials on NVC which will be provided before the training date. CLE credit is pending for the 6-hour in-person training and the additional 1-hr video.
Early bird pricing of $200 is available until May 24th, 2024. Registrations after that will be $250.
Lunch and snacks are included.
