Workshop Session B4: Mediating Extraordinary Families: Special Needs, LGBTQIAA and Extended Families

(CME: Cultural Diversity)

Presenter: Natalie Baird,  Sarah Kay

This workshop is designed to assist mediators with understanding the unique cultures and perspectives of families with special needs children, families with LGBTQIAA members, and families that are comprised of more than simply parents and their shared biological children; understanding how those differences impact the mediation process; and ethical considerations when conducting the mediations.
