MC’d by Darren Rawlins, we’ll explore today’s key challenges in family mediation, including ethical decision-making, cultural competence, and effective collaboration across professional disciplines. Through interactive workshops, panel discussions, and hands-on skills sessions, participants will gain practical tools and fresh perspectives grounded in both Aotearoa New Zealand and international best practice.

The Programme
-
We have all sat across from someone who simply won't engage. Who pushes back, shuts down, attacks, or disappears behind a wall of silence. Sometimes we find a way through. Sometimes we don't.
This session won't be just another list of strategies to try. It will go somewhere far more important — an exploration of what is actually happening beneath the resistance, and what our part as mediators in all this really is.
You'll leave with new eyes, practical tools, and a question that hopefully changes how you walk into every mediation.
-
Gain insight into how the legal context shapes family mediation and discover opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.
-
Practice key mediation skills on real-life scenarios and gain feedback from facilitators and peers, fostering collaboration across professional disciplines.

Examine the practical applications and risks of shuttle mediation, integrating current sector trends and real-world challenges.
-
Strengthen cultural competence by learning to adapt mediation practices to diverse family structures, values, and expectations.
