Narrative mediation: a taste with Debbie Dunn on Wednesday 22 February 2012
Debbie has been facilitating mediations informed by narrative practice for some 12 years and invites you to come and have your questions answered and to hear about the meaning she gives to this way of working. Debbie hopes that this ‘taste’ will mean you leave with a different understanding or that it creates enough curiosity for you to want to know more.
About Debbie Dunn Debbie has been an accredited mediator with LEADR since 1994 and is accredited under the national standards. She has worked in a number of senior management positions including the general manager of a multinational company, a company secretary, and several human resource/relationship manager roles. Debbie operated her business Accord Facilitation Services for several years in Adelaide before moving to Tasmania in late 2005. She studied narrative therapy for two years at the Dulwich Centre in Adelaide and was fortunate and privileged to have Michael White as a teacher. From her studies there she gained a postgraduate diploma and it is these proposals that now inform her work with individuals, couples, groups and organisations. Debbie has a long-held interest in the practices organisations engage in and the effects of these practices on people, their lives and their relationships. This has led her work into the area of workplace bullying. She currently undertakes private work from the Narrative Centre in Hobart and has developed a Narrative mediation training course with Chris Wever, also of the Narrative Centre, and works part-time at a women’s shelter. She has been a member of a number of not-for-profit boards and is currently on The Challenge Bullying Inc. board, a new organisation established to work with organisations and individuals on bullying and its effects. |

Narrative mediation as an approach to mediation has been in use for a number of years. There are many understandings of how it works, of its intentions and how it differs from dominant approaches to mediation.Send comments, ideas and material for future LEADR events >>
