You’re Invited: CMC Virtual Screening & Discussion — Split and Split Up
🗓 Saturday, June 7, 2025
🕙 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM ET
📍 Zoom (link provided upon RSVP)
This event has been approved for 2.5 hours of General/Family CME.
Join us for a special online event hosted by the Community Mediation Center where we’ll screen two powerful short documentaries — Split and Split Up — and engage in a thoughtful discussion about how we can better support families and children through mediation.
About the Documentaries:
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ellen Bruno, Split (Part 1) offers a rare and moving glimpse into the lives of children navigating their parents’ separation. Told entirely from the child’s point of view, it features candid interviews with kids ages 6–12 as they process the initial stages of family breakup.
Split Up (Part 2) revisits these same children 10 years later. Now young adults, they reflect on how their parents’ separation shaped their lives, relationships, and sense of self.
These films are not just educational — they’re deeply human and emotionally resonant. CMC has secured a one-year streaming license for both films, which we plan to make available to co-parents preparing for mediation.
Who Should Attend:
This event is especially recommended for CMC family mediators, staff, and volunteers, but all are welcome. The goal is to gain insight into how separation and divorce impact children — and how we as mediators can encourage parents to center their children’s needs.
💬 A group discussion will follow the screenings.
Please let us know if you can attend by emailing jen.comiskey@2mediate.org, and we’ll send you a calendar invite with the Zoom link. We hope to see you there for this important conversation!
