Online Peer Mediation Platform

Standard clinical training doesn't prepare you for high-conflict clients.

Blame, splitting, all-or-nothing thinking, the negative advocates they recruit — these dynamics can stall therapy and quietly wear you down. The new High-Conflict Mental Health Certification, taught by Bill Eddy (LCSW, Esq.), gives you a structured, ethical playbook for managing them while protecting both the therapeutic relationship and your own well-being.

You'll learn the 5 high-conflict personality patterns, the BIFF Response® and EAR Statements™ methods, and a decision-support framework for the ethically gray moments.

Self-paced and built for therapists, counselors, psychologists, and clinical social workers.

Developed in partnership with the National Association for Community Mediation, the Graduate Certificate in Contemporary Dispute Resolution prepares individuals to address disputes regardless of context. Learn analytical and practical skills in mediation, negotiation, coaching or facilitation, and de-escalation processes.

Not all kids will tell you they’re being bullied.
In fact, many don’t.

That’s why it’s important to look for the signs:
▪ Sudden changes in mood
▪ Avoiding school or activities
▪ Withdrawal from friends
▪ Changes in sleep or behavior

Starting the conversation early builds trust and makes it easier for your kid or teen to come to you when something is wrong.
