Bruce Edward Avery
I have been involved over the last more than 30 years in dispute resolution around the world, from international disputes between the US and Japan and the US and South Korea to resolving individual disputes between members of families in crisis. I beleive that we can find ways to resolve even the most personal disputes if we deal with each person fairly and with respect. I also believe that we can help other practitioners to do the same if we facilitate their learning experiences in a way to help them become the best practitioners they can aspire to become.
I am a member of the faculty of the Collaborative Practice Training Institute. We are a faculty of Collaborative professionals from Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. We come from all three Collaborative fields - we are family law attorneys, mental health professionals, and financial professionals. Our curriculum is dedicated to providing high quality training in Collaborative practice at all levels of expertise: introductory, intermediate and advanced. Our training program is highly interactive. We focus on facilitating the learning experience of our audience through active participation and discussion, as opposed to providing long didactic lectures. We believe people learn not only through listening, but also through watching, writing, and practicing. CPTI is also determined to provide trainings that allow participants to work closely with our facilitators so that the learning can be specific and individualized.

| Type Of Practice |
