Family Mediation Practice Standards

Family Mediation Practice Standards are guidelines that outline the professional expectations for mediators facilitating family disputes, such as divorce or child custody issues. These standards ensure mediators provide a safe, respectful environment, where all parties can express their views. They cover qualifications, ethical behavior, confidentiality, and the processes mediators should use to help families reach amicable solutions. By adhering to these standards, mediators aim to promote effective communication and encourage collaboration, ultimately supporting families in finding mutually beneficial resolutions while minimizing conflict.
