In November 2024, Relate NI and Family Mediation merged to provide a seamless service between counselling, therapy and family mediation, ensuring the right relationship support service is available to people at the right time.
As demand for services continues to grow and needs become more diverse, the consolidation will also ensure that people across the region can exercise choice and independence when accessing support.
Both charities are continuing to offer services separately for the coming months. Relate NI’s centres throughout Northern Ireland will continue to operate as normal whilst Family Mediation NI services can also be accessed as normal at its existing locations and online.
A rebrand to introduce a new, merged entity is expected in 2025.
