Family Mediation Practicum

Complete Your 80 Hour Practicum For Accreditation As Approved By The Ontario Association For Family Mediation

The Ontario Association of Family Mediators (OAFM), Family Mediation Accreditation program, requires 100 hours of practicum experience to become an Accredited Family Mediator. OAFM allows 80 of the 100 hours to be completed using simulated cases. We offer this online practicum experience to help new mediators obtain a maximum of 80 hours towards the 100 required hours. It is an opportunity to practice and develop skills using realistic case scenarios and the hours can be counted towards your accreditation.
