Sorta OT-mediation-child custody

Well as many of you know I am a therapist at community mental health center. This week my supervisor told us that they were wanting to train someone in mediation-to deal with divorce and child custody situations. The training is fairly intense-I would have to go out of town for at least a week-perhaps 2 at a later time. I am tempted as I have some interest here-but I wonder if my experiences in the stepworld have made me biased and whether I could be completely objective.

I'm also not too keen on testifying and such in court. Dont particularly like it.

Would you guys do something like this if you could?

I kind of think your experiences could actually help you to NOT be biased. It'll help you to see both perspectives instead of just one. I'd do it if I had time

Wow Echo! How inspiring! I do agree that at least I would know firsthand some of the damage divorce and idiot parents can do vs someone who has never been in a stepfamily and has no clue.
