Family Mediators' Association of the Cape

Feedback

From all the responses the course was clearly a great success!  It was completely out of my comfort zone (I deal with companies problems, not people - no place for emotions!) so you will not believe how much I've learned, it's like a whole new world and I am so excited to get more involved and learn more!  I hated litigation and therefore moved to commercial law and never looked back ... but this I can do and I'll enjoy it!  It was truly an eye opener. Thank you.

What is Mediation?

Mediation involves families in conflict working out arrangements for themselves and their children with the help of neutral and skilled mediators. The aim of mediation is to reach an agreement which is mutually acceptable to the parties within the broad range of that which a court would be likely to approve.
