New Website

Welcome to the new OAFM Website.  There have been many improvements in our website.  Please take some time to review the changes from a presentation given to our membership at the Annual General meeting.  Click here for the presentation, in PDF format.

Are you looking for an Accredited Mediator???

OAFM cannot certify that any of the members on the list are necessarily competent to mediate your particular case. (See below) If you need help in selecting a family mediator, see our guidelines in making your decision.

While OAFM has no licensing powers, it does offer an accreditation process which permits those with the appropriate training and experience to obtain the designation Acc.FM (OAFM). You are urged to consider contracting with accredited mediators with expertise matching your specific requirements.

OAFM has no power to discipline its members, other than revoking membership and encouraging compliance with standards of practice accepted within the mediation community.
