How can we enroll enough people into the idea of peaceful divorce?

[Belinda Rachman, Esq.]

My clients self select just by coming to me in the first place. They are already inclined towards working together so they can move on as peacefully as possible. But they are the exception. What can we do to bring a higher profile to mediation. I keep thinking Oprah is one of the keys. We need to make a concerted effort on all fronts, local media, thought leaders, church, therapists, etc. at getting them on the peaceful divorce bandwagon. The overwhelming majority of people have never even heard of divorce mediation. We need to get it into the national consciousness.
