What Is Family Mediation?

Jewish Family Service

Jul 31, 2025

Shalom Austin Jewish Family Service offers family mediation to help families reduce conflict and chart a path forward.

A neutral mediator helps all parties work together to explore the issues, consider possible options, and form an agreement for how to move forward. The mediator does not suggest solutions for you, offer legal advice, or decide what should happen. Rather, they facilitate a process to help you determine your own path forward. Besides helping you resolve the current conflict, mediation often sets people up for more positive interactions in the future.

Family mediation is a process to help people work through a conflict or make difficult decisions. Families often use mediation to:

• Address specific sources of conflict or disagreement

• Settle a divorce or address post-divorce issues

• Make decisions around other life transitions
