The Art of Reframing Webinar

Monday, November 4, 2024, 2-3:00pm Eastern Time, via Zoom

Ayne Meiklem is a longstanding certified member of FMC, the Coordinator of FMC’s Pre-Certification Role Play Group Program, and an FMC Certification Assessor.  She invites you to join her for a review of the power of the ‘reframe’ in mediation. In her work assisting our members prepare for their Advanced Certification in Family Relations and Comprehensive Family Relations, Ayne has observed a decline in the understanding and use of reframing among both novice and seasoned mediators. As reframing is one of the most valuable tools in a mediator’s tool kit, this is worrisome.  To prevent reframing from becoming a lost art, Ayne invites you to join her in a discussion about its significance and the importance of keeping this valuable skill sharp and in practice.

Ayne Meiklem has been practicing mediation since the late 1990s, shifting from a private civil practice to family mediation in 2001. In 2007, on behalf of the British Columbia Family Justice Services Division and in conjunction with Mediate BC (formerly the BC Mediator Roster) Ayne participated in the research and development of the first-ever provision of online mediation services to families living remotely and otherwise unable to access service in BC.  The evaluated success of this project gave rise to the Distance Services program within BC’s Family Justice Services Division and was expanded to include all areas of the province in 2010.  Ayne went on to train others within the division in the provision of online mediation and to become the Distance Services Program Coordinator providing support to the Division’s roster of distance mediators.  Also, on behalf of the BC’s Family Justice Services Division, Ayne participated in the development and piloting of the Children-In-Mediation program in 2008.  Positive evaluations of this program resulted in its expansion to all BC families attending mediation at BC Family Justice Centres. Now retired from the public sector, Ayne continues her practice online. She remains passionate about her work with families and about fostering a societal shift away from adversarial processes, promoting the preservation of family as a safe and nurturing foundation through all of life’s changes.
