Family Mediation
In Family Mediation, family members hire a neutral third party to help them resolve disputes regarding any number of family matters.

• Division of labor
• Parent/child conflict
• Teen issues
• House rules
• Blended family concerns
• Effective discipline

Family mediation is highly effective because:

• Participants have a say-so in the outcomes
• Parents don’t dominate the discussion
• All parties walk away with a sense of win-win
• Families learn how to communicate more effectively and respectfully
• A structured process allows participants to understand each other’s positions and negotiate workable plans.
