Family mediators are frequently involved in disputes which can raise complex emotional and legal issues. Over the years, practitioners, theorists and academics have refined a body of practical skills and theories which enable mediators to support the participants and help them through the confusion and conflict they often find themselves in.
Working with separating and separated couples, family mediators help them resolve questions relating to their children and financial arrangements. Family mediators also help resolve conflict between parents/ adult children, siblings or extended family, and can reduce the emotional and psychological harm that conflict can cause.
Family mediators need to use these specific mediation skills alongside an understanding of the experiences and needs of families, and for example the developmental impact that separation can have on children.
Our family mediation training courses focus on the teaching of these skills in the context of the emotional and financial circumstances and legal framework in which families and separated families frequently find themselves.
