Certified Facilitative Mediators Association
Conflict is hard. Mediation can help.
Mediation is a peaceful alternative for resolving any kind of conflict, whether the legal system is involved or not, including:
- Family Matters (parenting, divorce, parent-child)
- Elder Care Disputes (estate matters, assistedliving/nursing home disputes)
- Landlord-Tenant (including homelessness prevention)
- Education (IEP) Difficulties
- Workplace Conflicts (training, coaching, mediation)
- Consumer Disputes
When conflict arises in life and work, it can be painful, disruptive and unsettling. You may feel lost or out of control, wondering if going to court or losing a relationship is the only way to move forward.
A professional mediator empowers individuals to transform disputes, large or small, into durable, win-win agreements by:
- Creating a safe, confidential space for all parties to discuss issues
- Ensuring everyone at the table has opportunities to listen and be heard
- Understanding the root cause of the conflict
- Helping parties craft effective agreements that meet their unique needs
The Certified Facilitative Mediators Association (CFMA) is a private, non-profit organization that provides training and certification for facilitative mediators throughout the state. We believe that facilitative mediation is one of the most empowering ways to solve a wide variety of interpersonal and organizational problems and we work tirelessly to provide easy access to alternative dispute resolution in communities across Montana.
