Family mediation is a multi disciplinary service to assist families in conflict. Mediators come from different backgrounds, including mental health and social work disciplines, and the law. We therefore have a policy of alternating Presidents of our local association between mediators from different backgrounds, to provide a balance of focus and direction from year to year. The terms of board members run from mid July for one year, and elections are held if more than one person volunteers for a position. We welcome additional members on the Board, to share the work and fun of organizing and running our local organization.
