Harrogate based 3V Mediation, which works with Berwins Solicitors to support clients from across the region, is marking Family Mediation Week as it seeks to promote the benefits a mediated solution can offer separating families.

Every year, thousands of families are torn apart by bitter court battles. Relationships between separating parents are irretrievably broken, and all too often their children are caught up in the middle – Berwins and 3V believe that it doesn't have to be that way.

Mediation has helped many divorcing parents build a constructive future for their family, focusing on their children and what is best for them, without a court imposing decisions on anyone – in short mediation offers a better way.

About family mediation

Family mediation puts you in control, with the help and support of highly trained professionals who can help you make decisions about your future.

Research shows that mediation is often the best way for families to resolve conflicts. Unfortunately, too few people know about it, and end up locked in angry disputes that have far-reaching consequences for them, and for their children.

Family Mediation Week

Organised by the Family Mediators Association (FMA), 23rd to 27th January 2017 is Family Mediation Week, and aims to raise awareness of mediation as an alternative to court battles for separating couples.

Mediation can help you take control of your own family’s future, making constructive decisions together rather than asking someone else to decide what should happen to your children or your finances. We want to help and support people who are separating, and also let other people know that family mediation is an option they can suggest to friends or family members who are separating and who don’t know where to go for help.

Over the course of Family Mediation Week, Berwins and 3V will be publishing and sharing information and resources to help more people understand that there is a better, more constructive option that puts children first and helps separating families create a brighter future.
