Mission Statement
FamilyLife Mediation is an organisation specialising in working with divorced and separated families, offering help in the separation which can be quite traumatic for all parties, but especially the children. Mediation through family crisis is a structured process in which a neutral mediator helps enable both parties attempt to resolve their fears and disputes.

• Support divorcing or separating couples decide their future
• Mediation with the children central to the situation
