What is GeA Association, Parents Again
Fulvio Scaparropsychotherapist and writer, is the founder of theGeA Associationfor over 30 years committed to supporting couples in crisis through family mediation.
«In 1987, when we founded the GeA Parents Association, we began to work on a project full of utopia: deal with conflicts, especially family conflicts, not only as destructive events but also as opportunities for growth and transformation of relationships. Help parents in separation to regain trust, hope, understanding and mutual recognition. Spread a mediation culture from which results of great utility can derive, not only for individuals but for the entire community in terms of reconciliation of social relations and trust in personal and community resources.
Over the years we have found many traveling companions endowed with courage, optimism, profound awareness that, in school as in the family, in companies as in institutions, there is an increasing need for mediators who help the parties to negotiate, to look further than a possible immediate victory, to seek alternative solutions to the head-on collision.
Above all, a long and fruitful journey of practice and reflection has been made not only on how, when, in which areas to mediate, but also and above all why it is worthwhile to mediate».
The GeA Parents Association Ancóra in 1989 he created the 1st Italian training school for family mediation for public and private operators and in over 30 years of activity the association has trained hundreds of family mediators who have made specific expertise, listening and support available to parents to deal with the complexity of the situation in which they find themselves.
