Welcome to the Alberta Family Mediation Society
Alberta Family Mediation Society (AFMS) advocates resolution of family conflict through the use of mediation by qualified professionals
In some cases families qualify for free family mediation through the province/AB Courts. To see if you qualify, click here: Family Mediation | Alberta.ca
If you do not qualify for provincially funded family mediation, you will need to retain a private family mediator. You can use the Find a Mediator link above to access our directory of qualified mediators and contact them directly.
AFMS mediators practice independently and set their own fees. We encourage you to reach out to mediators directly to discuss their availability, fees, and whether their services are a good fit for your circumstances.
