Mediation is a seldom-used but remarkably beneficial tool that may, if properly utilized at the appropriate juncture of a contested guardianship or conservatorship case, save a family, parties, or litigants significant sums of money as well as unnecessary stress and grief.  The Center for Social Gerontology has developed an excellent guardianship and conservatorship mediation training course that emphasizes resolution of difficult cases, particularly when an alternative might be available which would address the issues without taking away the rights of the person who is the subject of the proceeding.  Terry has developed mediation skills through TCSG's adult guardianship mediation program as well as having been involved in numerous court cases that were successfully resolved by use of enhanced mediation skills.  Terry is available to assist in the resolution of difficult and perplexing situations by use of mediation.
