New home for Family Mediation - Buchan Observer

FAMILY Mediation Grampian officially opened its smart new office suite at Marischal Chambers on Peterhead's Drummers Corner, Peterhead, yesterday (Monday).

Local MSP and long time supporter of the service, Stewart Stevenson, performed the honours with Margaret Forbes, chair of Couple Counselling Grampian.

Family Mediation Grampian is a registered charity offering a range of services to families who no longer live together. The pain of separation and divorce affects everyone, and these services help families make arrangements for the future.

The service has operated from its former base in Peterhead for the past eight years and remains in the heart of the community.

However, the move to larger, brighter premises heralds new opportunities that will meet the needs of local people, with Couple Counselling Grampian offering a support service from the same venue to people who need help with relationship problems.

Elaine C. Smith, Patron of Family Mediation Scotland, commented: "What a brilliant idea to have these two services under the same roof! Sometimes people who are having problems don't really know if they need counselling or mediation, and if they are both available in these lovely new offices, then Family Mediation and Couple Counselling are really offering a convenient, flexible and accessible service to the people of North East Scotland."
