Meetings with psychologist and family mediators for parents with sons under the age of 18.
Family mediation is an intervention to support parenting which provides a path for the reorganization of family relationships in view of or following a separation or divorce. The intent of the path is to allow the parental couple to share an agreement that allows the maintenance and continuity of relationships with their children and to exercise both parental responsibility.
The intervention is led by an expert operator for a maximum of 10/12 meetings. The Family Mediator, in guaranteeing professional secrecy and independently from the judicial system, works to ensure that the partners personally develop a separation program for themselves and their children in which they can exercise common parental responsibility.
