===Regional Mentoring Program===
===The Family Mediation Practicum Project===


The Family Mediation Practicum Project, run by the provincial Ministry of Justice through Mediate BC, has two goals: to help people involved in a family law dispute resolve their differences out of court through mediation; and, to train new mediators. The Family Mediation Practicum Project is free and can deal with simple property disputes, issues involving the care and control of children, child support, and spousal support.
Mediate BC's [http://www.mediatebc.com/PDFs/1-14-Family-Mediation---FAQs/FMSClientBrochSept2012-web.aspx Regional Mentoring Program] was introduced in April 2012 and pairs a highly qualified mentor mediator with a mediator in training to mediate family disputes. The mediators provide legal information, and also provide support in developing options to resolve disputes, including property division.  
 
It is currently being redesigned by Mediate BC, and will become the Regional Mentoring Program.
