Testimonials

My experiences with Riverdale Mediation courses has been exemplary. Each course I have taken is full of valuable, relevant content and learning sessions that truly teach us. The 10-hour Update on Identifying, Accessing and Managing Power Imbalances and risk in FDR continues in that stead. It was a wonderfully jam-packed day that included content that I would never had known had I not attended the course. Thanks to Hilary and Elizabeth for providing another Riverdale Mediation course that does not disappoint and has advanced my understanding of this important issue. Given the focus of the new Divorce Act on domestic violence, this course is a must-attend for all.

Speakers were engaging and topics discussed were current and relevant.

You did an excellent job of delivering the training and I genuinely appreciate your dedication to the job at hand. You added a lot of value to the process. Thanks.

In addition to always-valuable, hard-core training regarding Screening, I was impressed by the multiple-intelligences approach; such as cultural competence/sensitivity, emotional intelligence, even the significance of pets (who knew)! Also, the training/agenda did a good job speaking to attendees such as myself who provide mediation/arbitration services to folks who are represented by and attending with counsel, as well as to others who work with self-represented by parties, often at court sites.

(I liked) the reviewing of updated information.

Comprehensive. Good training materials. Nice venue. Bright and well lit room.

(Great) diversity of participants – backgrounds, knowledge, and skill level, enthusiasm and openness to sharing.

Fabulous resource material. Hilary and Christine are impeccably professional generous with their knowledge.

High level of intellectual content – much of it “new” information and presenters are current.

A wide variety of issues with very practical applications.

Very important subject matter presented in a very helpful way.

I am surprised by how much I learned. Not because of the instruction, but because I came in feeling that I had been through this type of material several times before. Thank you for the ongoing education and a change to revisit what I thought I knew.
