Family Peacemakers Conference

What We Do
This Conference brings “peacemakers” together in one place to build skills and network with professionals who focus on CDR approaches, primarily mediation and working within collaborative interdisciplinary teams. We offer plenary sessions and workshops that build skills in mediation and collaborative approaches and allow practitioners to learn new skills and broaden their practice.

Consensual Dispute Resolution
Consensual Dispute Resolution refers to voluntary settlement processes by which parties resolve their differences through negotiation, avoiding the need to go to court. The two most common modes are the Collaborative process and the Mediation process. These approaches allow parties to maintain control over their own lives and their relationship with their children.

As “peacemakers” we are a community of professionals working with families experiencing breakdown. Our skill level directly affects outcomes for children and helps families find a peaceful future.
