A mediation service has been operating in Moscow for over six years, helping to overcome disagreements between loved ones. More than 70 percent of couples who turned to Moscow specialists to resolve a family dispute were able to find a solution and avoid litigation, and in some cases, save their marriage. Now this experience will be implemented throughout the country – the Russian Government supported the Moscow family mediation program. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
"We see that even in difficult conflict situations, close people are ready to come to an agreement if they are helped. For this purpose, we launched family mediation in the capital – this is a chance to save a marriage or at least avoid traumatic litigation. Specialists offer methods for resolving disagreements based on dialogue and mutual understanding. The approach has proven not only its relevance, but also its effectiveness. Seven out of 10 couples who turned to mediators were able to resolve family conflicts. Our experience has received high praise at the federal level and will now be available to residents of other regions of the country. The Moscow Center for Mediation and Social and Legal Assistance will act as the coordinator, methodological and practical partner of the initiative. Moscow is the first in the country to implement a mediation mechanism at the state level through city projects and services," said Anastasia Rakova.
The implementation of the Moscow mediation model in the regions is being carried out by the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation within the framework of the Strategy of Actions for the Implementation of Family and Demographic Policy and Support for Large Families in Russia until 2036. Various subjects of the Federation have already expressed interest in the capital's approach. Thus, this year, delegations from the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, Tomsk and Orenburg Regions and Altai Krai visited the Moscow Center for Mediation and Social and Legal Assistance. The experience of Moscow specialists will help create state centers for family mediation: implement this type of support and establish effective work with families in conflict. The capital's mediators will ensure coordination and methodological support for the project.
Mediation is a modern method of conflict resolution with the participation of an independent mediator who helps to build a dialogue. The procedure is used, among other things, in divorce, in matters related to the upbringing of children, property and in other sensitive situations. The method is based on equality, voluntariness and confidentiality, and the concluded mediation agreements have legal force. They help to ensure the implementation of decisions made without lengthy litigation.
Muscovites can get free mediation assistance at the city's family centers or at the Center for Mediation and Social and Legal Assistance. Since 2024, a convenient project based on the My Documents government service centers has been in effect: couples who have filed for divorce have the opportunity to receive a consultation with a psychologist and a mediator.
