The Academy of Family Mediators (AFM) is a nonprofit educational organization
founded in 1981 by a group of leading mediators to support professional and
public mediation education. The academy has developed, and continues to refine,
criteria for mediator education, training, and ethical practice in cooperation
with other state, regional, and national conflict resolution organizations. The
academy seeks to elevate mediation practice and expand mediation opportunities.
It also sponsors a national mediator referral system to help people identify
mediators in their area and provides information about mediation training
programs. AFM holds annual conferences and has a wide selection of educational
materials, books, videotapes, audiotapes, and professional publications for
sale. It also publishes the journal Mediation Quarterly as well as a
quarterly newsletter, Mediation News, for its members.
