Organized by Invisible Scars Foundation and IAMC Hyderabad jointly, the event was sponsored entirely under Centific's CSR initiative.
Thirtytwo social workers, psychologists, and police officers were trained and certified as Family Mediators.
Curriculum covered trauma, communication, family law, negotiation, and ethics and comprised theoretical and practical examinations.

Purpose and impact:

The program enables the clearing of the pendency of more than 4.91 lakh domestic violence cases in Indian courts.
Conflict resolution in genderbased violence (ICTRGBV), education, health, and sanitation will now be conducted by trained mediators.
Once resolved by mediation, disputes cannot be appealed to the courts, bringing finality and emotional closure.

Voices of the ground:

IPS officer Shikha Goel initiated the programme, describing her experience as a trained mediator and urging wider usage.
Ekta Viiveck Verma, the initiator of Invisible Scars Foundation, emphasized mediation as a healing process, not a legal process.
IAMC's AJ Jawad spoke about empowering grassroots professionals with handson skills to put an end to family conflicts.

Prospect

With Telangana being a model for community mediation, the plan is to expand the program at the national level through philanthropic collaborations.
