Mediation Training
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Training
Riverdale Mediation has been training mediators since 2001. We have trained family mediators in Toronto, across Ontario, across Canada, as well as in several European countries, South Africa and in many US states.
We are specialists in designing and delivering custom-training for professionals.
Although our focus is on providing the highest quality and most affordable family mediation training, we have also designed and delivered civil and community mediation training, negotiation workshops, conflict management session and conflict coaching training. We have a unique expertise in helping professionals identify, assess and manage safety and risk in their practices, with a focus on the impact of negotiation power, including domestic violence, in the work of all mediators. Our training and consulting in the field of safety planning for mediators, lawyers and other professionals and clients is renowned.

As a well-trained family mediator, you will play a crucial role in helping separating couples untangle their former lives as a couple and move forward separately. The skills you need — understanding conflict, knowing how to identify negotiation power, understanding negotiation strategies and tactics, assessing and managing risk, knowing family law, and possessing effective communication skills— you will learn in our training program.
