Learn From the Best, with the Best!

Riverdale Mediation is recognized nationally and internationally for its high calibre, engaging and relevant training programs.

We have been training family mediators, arbitrators and parenting coordinators since 2001. (To learn a bit of our history, check out our special 20-year anniversary newsletter here; and read the About Us page on our Services site!)

Our courses are the product of broad collaboration with leading trainers, academics and practitioners. We receive extensive feedback from course participants, resulting in regular updates.

Our courses are never stale. Our materials are current, relevant and useful.

And with all our training offered in a hybrid on-demand and live tutorial model, all via Zoom and a Learning Management System, we are training students from around the world.

Lead trainer and course designer, Hilary Linton, has been teaching family dispute resolution since 2001 when she left her law partnership to specialize in alternative dispute resolution (ADR). With a Masters in Law (ADR) and over two decades of experience as a family mediator, arbitrator and teacher, Hilary brings great value to her courses.

Our courses and programs are infused with Hilary’s energy, dedication and commitment to excellence. That standard is met by everyone on our teaching team—most of whom studied with us. Meet them here!

Our standard course schedule provides all the essential training for the key family dispute resolution processes evolving today around the world: Family Mediation; Family Arbitration, and Parenting Coordination.

And we have developed many custom-designed workshops for communities, organizations and professionals in Canada, the US and around the world. Learn more about our custom workshops here! 

And anyone who has taken training with us knows how much our long-time Training Director, Frank Guerriero, means to everyone!
