'Mediation Map' Training

Exciting news!!

The GAP training has been updated to accommodate the specific needs of Mediators. We have taken all the components of the GAP training and divided them into individual classes. And we have added a practice mediation class where participants will have the opportunity to role play a whole mediation start to finish-unlike the role plays in the 40 hour training! 

The great news is you can take one class or all 3!

If you left the 40 Hour Mediation Training feeling unprepared to start mediating any and all of these classes are for you!
