Faith-Based Mediation: Navigating Religious Values and Beliefs

Duration: 4 hours | CPD Program

This interactive CPD session explores the unique considerations and sensitivities involved in faith-based mediation. Mediators often encounter parties whose religious or spiritual beliefs deeply shape their perspectives, decisions, and conflict dynamics. This program provides tools and frameworks for mediating in contexts where faith plays a central role—whether in family, community, workplace, or interfaith settings.

Participants will learn how to:

Recognize and respect diverse religious values without bias

Navigate conversations involving sacred texts, rituals, or belief systems

Handle potential ethical dilemmas and maintain neutrality

Build trust across religious differences while staying grounded in mediation principles

Through real-world case studies, discussion, and skills practice, this session equips mediators to approach faith-informed conflicts with confidence, cultural humility, and clarity of role.

Ideal for mediators working in multicultural or faith-sensitive contexts, or anyone looking to expand their cultural competency within their mediation practice.
