For the best in mediation training, select a mediation training program with proven leadership and lecturers with academic credentials and professional standing, like the staff of Manousso Mediation.
Make sure that your trainers meet the qualifications for professional mediation organizations, such as being members of the Texas Association of Mediators, Association for Conflict Resolution, Texas Credentialing Association, and Texas Mediators Trainers Round Table (TMTR), or you won’t be getting a quality training and often won’t be accepted into the mediation community. Online, but only live, on camera, and interactive, trainings are now recognized by most mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) panels and hiring opportunities. Check and verify all trainer credentials through all professional organizations. In Texas, TMTR trainers are approved for established and credible trainers.

Manousso Mediation and Arbitration has a class for you!
Texas Statute in 2015: The Legislature requires four hours of domestic violence training in order to conduct any family mediations. If you have taken our advance family training, this class is included in our family, divorce, child-custody, elder and adult care certificate. However, if you trained elsewhere, you might not have had the four hours of approved domestic violence (DV) training included. Therefore, Manousso Mediation can offer you the four hours of domestic violence training only, from 1 PM to 5 PM, for $150, during our Advance Family: Divorce, Child Custody trainings. Call 713/557-1010 or look at schedule on the left for training time. To register, go to the Pay Tuition page under Advance training
