The Compassion Fatigue/Vicarious Trauma – Considerations for Mediators workshop to be held on Friday, June 6th from 5:00-7:30pm will be presented by Elizabeth Kent, the recently retired director of the Judiciary’s Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution (CADR) and active ADR practitioner.
As mediators we all try to include rapport, empathy, and compassion in the set of skills we bring to every mediation. Using them can impact the mediator by internalizing what we receive from the clients. Multiple mediations can have a cumulative impact on how we deal with it.
Elizabeth will discuss the issues of vicarious trauma, also known as compassion fatigue, discuss successful coping techniques, and help participants design an action plan for resiliency in this interactive class.
This workshop is open to active Mediation Center of the Pacific volunteer mediators at no cost. The location is in the Kukui Center Conference room – 245 N. Kukui St., Ste 103 – Honolulu. MCP will also provide light refreshments.
RSVP – If you are interested in attending, please RSVP on or before Monday, June 2, 2014 – call (808) 521-6767 or send an email to nathan@mediatehawaii.org
Keep in mind that space is limited, and MCP expects this workshop to fill up quickly.
