Speaker Series – Space: Does it Cause Ethical Dilemmas in Conflict Resolution?

Thursday, June 15th, 4:30pm – 6:30pm PST 

(This is a 2-hour session that meets the LSBC requirement for ethics).

Online Via Zoom

Speakers: Wendy Lakusta and Vivian Kerenyi

Have you given any thought to the notion of ‘space’ (not outer space) and how it creates different circumstances and scenarios in conflict resolution? How important is understanding ‘space’ as a concept to your effectiveness as a mediator?

Please join us for an interactive discussion on how ‘space’ impacts ethical issues in conflict resolution.

Come enjoy the opportunity to discuss ethical concerns that you may not have ever considered thus far in your mediation practice and some that may never have been on your radar.

We will look at ‘space’ through a different lens and assist you in making those challenging ethical decisions.
