Family Mediation Training & Events Calendar
On this calendar APFM lists only training programs that are relevant for family mediators. We recommend taking a training program about mediation fundamentals and skills before attending a program focused on using mediation skills in work with families.
Listing a program on the calendar does not imply that APFM endorses the qualifications of the trainer or the quality of the training except where it is explicitly stated that APFM’s Training Committee has approved the trainers and the program.
Below the list of calendared events you will find online training opportunities available any time.
Times listed are in the Eastern Time Zone.
