We are excited to bring you a great set of webinars during Family Mediation Week 2025, which should help everyone learn more about family mediation. 
We have sessions for you if you are a member of the public and interested in family mediation because you are going or have been through separation, as well as for professionals who work with families every day and see the impact separation can have. We also have webinars for you if you are a professional who works in the family justice system as a lawyer, mediators or in another role, which will help increase you understanding of mediation as part of your continuing professional development.
All webinars are free to attend. We will be adding more details and registration in the coming days, so please save the dates below and check back shortly for more info!
