ACR Greater Delaware Valley Chapter Dinner and Program

Come join us for our March program featuring Max Rivers on Thursday evening, March 15, 2012.

The topic of the evening's program will be:

Marriage Mediation: A New Frontier In Mediation.

This talk introduces a new approach to mediating marital disputes called Teamwork Marriage Mediation. Teamwork Mediation is unique in WHEN the mediation occurs (preventatively); HOW the mediation is done (using Non-Violent Communication principles) and WHAT the goal is (teaching clients conflict resolution skills). For ten years, Max Rivers has been working almost exclusively with couples, helping them understand that the beneath all of their “conflicts” is one essential truth: marriage is about difference, and so knowing how to get the benefit of that difference is the key to success. In just 4-6 sessions, Teamwork Marriage Mediation can change the way a couple communicates so that instead of an inevitable divorce, the couple can work together as a cooperative, skillful team. He is writing a book about this process called, “The Surprising Purpose of Marriage.”
