Mental Health and Mediation
Posted by mbcstaff
Conflict stresses our nervous systems and can worsen mental health and mental health challenges can also create or inflame conflicts. The cycle between conflict and mental health can be very challenging to navigate.
Listen to this interview with Child Protection mediator Kellie Tennant to learn she navigates this cycle to help people resolve conflicts and find solutions when mediation participants may have significant mental health or addiction challenges. She talks about self care and protecting your own mental health when you work with conflict or in emotinally demanding professions.
This interview was part of a series on different kinds of disputes that you could mediate, which was done for Conflict Resolution Week 2021. You can watch the rest of the series here.
