Credentialing Mediators to Serve with Excellence

Family mediation and the number of people claiming to be family mediators have exploded across the landscape in recent years.  If you have become concerned that there are people offering mediation services who are not sufficiently prepared, by virtue of education, experience or temperament, then you’re not alone.  We formed the Professional Mediation Board of Standards (PMBS), a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, to begin the process of developing a nationwide assessment tool that will allow mediators to objectively demonstrate their ability to provide family mediation services in an ethical and professional manner. More importantly, clients seeking the help of a mediator will have a tool to ensure their mediator is properly trained and has the necessary experience to guide them through the process of separation and divorce.  

About PMBS

Our founding members and board  is made up of professional mediators like you. We look forward to serving you.

The PMBS Survey

Are you a professional mediator committed to ensuring credentialing and professional standards for our profession? The Professional Mediation Board of Standards is asking for your help. We have developed a survey regarding the establishment of a credentialing process that would be based on more than education, training, and experience.  We’d love to hear from you and have designed this survey so we can incorporate your perspective as we grow! 

We're just getting started!

As a team of experienced mediators, we have developed Standards for Professional Family Mediation. These standards have been accepted both locally and nationally by a number of professional organizations.
