SUMMER 2021 Family / Divorce Mediation Training
Billings Mediation Center will sponsor it's 2nd Annual 6-Week Divorce Mediation Self-Study Course this Summer! Use the Contact Us dropdown for Training to let us know if you are interested. The course will span six weeks beginning Monday, June 7 through Saturday, July 17.
This sponsored training is a group-discounted self-study viewing of the James Melamed video series according to the training schedule created by Billings Mediation Center to accommodate a group/mediator community. As such, posting online discussion, "in-person" discussion by Zoom, and Role-Plays by Zoom are part of the schedule. Discussion and Role-Plays by Zoom will occur on Saturday mornings of those weeks as noted on the training schedule. The training schedule is available upon request, and accommodates Independence Day vacationers.

Under the reciprocity rule, the course would also be acknowledged by the State Bar of Montana, having been approved in other states.

I found the Divorce Mediation Course to be extremely educational. Jim Melamed's techniques are not only excellent for family mediation but are helpful in other types of mediation as well. I have utilized what I learned on a regular basis. His teaching style is engaging, thorough and well paced. The weekly sessions with other mediators who took the course helped to solidify and expand on Jim Melamed's methods. I highly recommend this course to all Mediators, regardless of your practice specialty. Thank you Temple!
