EP339 Katy Harris – Trends in Family Mediations & Bridging the Gap UK Conference
Bridging the Gap: A New Era in Conflict Resolution
In the latest episode of the LMI Podcast, Katy Harris and I start off by reminding folks of the upcoming Bridging the Gap Conference 2026, a pivotal event focusing on conflict resolution and mediation. This conference aims to enhance strategies in conflict resolution, emphasizing the importance of collaborative approaches in family law. As societal shifts influence divorce trends, the need for education and awareness in managing family conflicts outside the courtroom becomes increasingly crucial.
Collaborative Approaches in Family Law
We highlighted the significance of collaborative approaches in family law, which are essential for effective mediation. By fostering cooperation rather than confrontation, these methods offer a less combative approach to resolving family disputes, benefiting all parties involved, especially children.
Understanding Divorce Trends
We also examine current divorce trends, noting a shift towards more amicable resolutions. This change reflects a growing societal awareness of the benefits of mediation over traditional litigation, which can be adversarial and costly.
