Our service is an independent registered charity and donations are always welcome. Family mediation is provided free if the criteria for the early intervention, HSCB funding is met, i.e. pre-court parents.

What are mediators?
Family Mediators are trained professionals who have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the complexity of family life and of separation, divorce and family restructuring. All our mediators work to the professional standards and code of ethics of the College of Mediators and Mediators Institute Ireland. To maintain a high quality practice all Mediators work towards accreditation status and must meet the required standards of practice, supervision and Continuing Professional Develop ment through the Family Mediation Council UK & MII.

What is mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary process in which a trained, impartial mediator helps family members to communicate more effectively and to make their own arrangements for the future, particularly for children.
To benefit families, mediation can:
• Minimise conflict
• Improve family life
• Help avoid long, painful and expensive legal battles.
Mediators do not take sides, make judgements or give guidance, but support people to make their own decisions about the future. Family mediation supports parents, children and the wider family through change, particularly as a result of separations.
