SUMMARY:The Internal Family Systems Model for Lawyers and Mediators
DESCRIPTION:Register here\nA gathering for lawyers and mediators to explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) can enhance their practice and personal growth. \nThe Internal Family Systems model\, used by mental health professionals and coaches\, is also useful for lawyers\, mediators\, and others involved in conflict resolution.

Please join this quarterly gathering of lawyers and mediators who use the IFS model\, or are just beginning to learn about it\, to share ideas\, experiences\, and resources. Attendance is via Zoom and free. Please register with your preferred email address as we will send the zoom link for this program to registered email addresses the week before the workshop. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:The Future of DEI: Bridging Perspectives in a Time of Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Please join BLC’s David Hoffman\, Audrey Lee and Matt Thompson for this interactive zoom discussion about the future of DEI.\n\n\nPlease join us for an interactive discussion about the future of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (“DEI”). Given the Trump administration’s concerted effort to dismantle DEI practices at universities\, government agencies\, law firms\, and employers generally\, those who support DEI are wondering how best to move forward. BLCI has offered\, and will continue to offer\, trainings and other programs about diversity\, within dispute resolution and more broadly. At the same time\, we wish to host earnest engagement across the political spectrum about how to support inclusive processes. This gathering will offer an opportunity for such engagement\, and also for a frank discussion about how DEI initiatives could be improved. Please feel free to forward this invitation to others – and especially to people whose perspectives differ from ours. This free program will be hosted and facilitated by BLC’s Audrey Lee\, Matt Thompson\, and David Hoffman. \n \nPlease register with your preferred email address as we will send the zoom link for this program to registered email addresses the week before the workshop.
