Strengthening Families, Building a Better Tomorrow

The Family Counselling & Mediation Coalition of India (FCMCI) is a national, non-profit coalition dedicated to promoting healthy families, peaceful conflict resolution, and emotional well-being through professional counselling, mediation, education, and community engagement. FCMCI serves as a collaborative platform that brings together family counsellors, mediators, legal professionals, psychologists, educators, social workers, researchers, faith leaders, and community organizations with a shared commitment to strengthening family relationships and fostering a culture of dialogue, understanding, and reconciliation.
