National Association for Family Mediation

The National Association for Family Mediation (NAFM) is a professional organization that supports trained mediators who help families resolve disputes, such as those over separation, divorce, or child arrangements. Their goal is to facilitate constructive communication, reduce conflict, and reach agreements amicably without going to court. NAFM sets standards for mediator training and ethical practice, ensuring families receive quality, impartial assistance. By promoting mediation, the organization helps families settle disagreements more efficiently, privately, and often more amicably than through litigation.
