Elder Mediation International Network (EMIN) CLG

Elder Mediation International Network (EMIN) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting elder mediation and up-holding the highest standards of practice worldwide. Through its internationally recognised certification programme and robust Code of Ethics, EMIN equips mediators with the specialised knowledge required to support older people, safeguard vulnerable adults and navigate complex family, financial and capacity issues.

The network offers a suite of professional development resources, including two-year certification courses, video training modules and a searchable directory of certified elder mediators. Regular summits-such as the upcoming event in Cork, Ireland, in May 2026-provide a platform for practitioners to share insights, present research and advance the field. Past gatherings have spanned continents, from Dublin and Bristol to Copenhagen and Chicago, reflecting EMIN's global reach.

By focusing on topics such as elder abuse, dementia, advance care directives and ethical mediation, EMIN serves mediators, social-service organisations and families seeking competent, compassionate support for older adults.
