What is Family Mediation?
Disputes can arise within families around issues such as separation, divorce, elder care, health issues, teenagers, succession or estate issues. A family continues long after a dispute is settled. Family Mediation offers a way for people, who wish to maintain or re-establish positive relationships within their immediate or extended family, to discuss and negotiate sensitive issues without escalating hostilities. Family mediation is a confidential process in which a trained family mediator helps families to discuss and negotiate issues which have led to conflict between them. Research shows that mediation improves communication between families. This applies whether people are living under the same roof or under different roofs.

Different types of Family Mediation:
Mediation can used in a number of different family disputes. The Cork Family Mediation Centre provides mediation in areas such as:
• Separation/Divorce
• Mediation for Couples choosing to live together
