The Academy of Professional Family Mediators

I am a new member of the APFM. The case consultation group provided me the ability to discuss issues that arise in my mediation practice with others, at varying degrees of experience, and also have the opportunity to discuss with them issues that arose within their practices. Talking with other mediators helps me find my comfort zone, and sometimes step out of that zone, in order to be a better and more effective mediator. [W]e have a lot to learn from each other. Membership with the APFM provides me the opportunity to engage with other family mediators.

The APFM case consultation group is helping me to sharpen my perceptions and apply strategies I have heard of but never seen in action.

APFM gets much of the credit for how quickly my practice grew. The conferences are amazing. I learn a lot at each annual conference, and I love being in the company of so many other family mediators who care so much about our profession. APFM has also given me case consultation opportunities and one-on-one access to four expert mentors. Everyone who loves being a family mediator belongs in APFM.

APFM is wonderful organization. If you are a family mediator and not yet a member, join us. APFM has provided me with a place to meet, connect and collaborate with other professionals who care as much as I do about assisting families through transitions. The connections I’ve made and things I’ve learned at conferences have helped me grow both professionally and personally in a way no other professional organization provides.

— Amanda Singer of San Diego Family Mediation Center, Del Mar, CA

I will be a lifelong member of APFM because I love my work as a family mediator and care deeply about my profession. Every family mediator — whether new or experienced — has an important place within APFM. The things I have learned and connections I’ve made here have significantly impacted my life and career.
