On this page, we list resources for mediators, which may help their own development, or be helpful to share with clients.
These resources have been recommended & shared by a FMC Registered Mediator; it should not be assumed that they are endorsed by the FMC, as it does not have capacity to check each resource. Mediators are therefore encouraged to make their own judgments about if and when these resources may be helpful.
