Charity running week of virtual events to help Hemel Hempstead families going through divorce

From today (January 18) the Family Mediation Council will be assisting families in Hemel Hempstead going through divorces via a series of zoom conferences.

The Family Mediation Council have partnered with Earley Solutions, who employ registered mediators who can assist with divorces, child arrangements and disputes among young people among other services.

Family Mediation week, which will run from January 18-22, will help separated families know which way to turn, by sharing information about the mediation process.

It will also explain how Family Mediation Council registered mediators can help families consider what is best for their future, and how mediation is available online to help them during the coronavirus pandemic.

The key knowledge these experienced mediation professionals are hoping to pass on is: how mediation works, when it might be suitable and the importance of involving older children in the decision-making. Further information will also be provided on funding and in what circumstances legal aid can be used.

Through an online mock mediation, the Family Mediation Council will show you what really happens in a mediation session, give professionals working with families the opportunity to join a virtual coffee morning, so they can ask any questions they have about mediation and will be publishing articles and videos throughout the week.
