Price range: $15.00 through $18.00The Florida Chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (FLAFCC) has created
a Task Force to address cases in which family conflict resurfaces when the parents age, or
evolves from decisions being made on behalf of an aging parent or other loved one. In an
unprecedented effort involving 20 Florida Statewide organizations, the FLAFCC Task Force on
Eldercaring Coordination is collaborating with a national/Canadian effort spearheaded by the
Association for Conflict Resolution Task Force to transform parenting coordination to cases
with concerns about an elder. Participants will have an opportunity to provide input to this
developing field, becoming a resource to the Task Forces in this groundbreaking project. This
project supports interdivisional court collaboration to fill this gap in ADR processes, broadening
the definition of high conflict families in the court.

This will entail a discussion of the various things the mediator must do to prepare for appellate mediation, as well as some techniques the mediator may find helpful in guiding the parties and their counsel through a risk analysis.
