Parent/Adolescent Mediation
Strong Families
Today's stressful and challenging pressures can strain relationships and sometimes cause friction between family members. Mediation can help families develop the problem-solving skills so they can better navigate difficult times and strengthen the family bond.
Landlord/Tenant Mediation
It is sometimes difficult for landlords and tenants to see eye to eye or to connect in a positive manner.
Mediation can be a great tool to help both parties hear each other's concerns and develop an agreement that meets the needs of the moment.
Victim/Offender Dialogue
Restorative Justice
The victims of criminal offenses are often overlooked during legal proceedings. Victim/Offender Dialogue facilitated by a trained and certified mediator in a safe setting can be a pathway to healing and restorative justice. It's an opportunity for all parties to hear from each other the reasons and impact of the action.
Training
We provide training in the form of neighborhood accountability boards, conflict resolution and restorative practices for communities, schools, businesses, and government agencies. We also provide Practicums for mediators.
We can work with you to develop a training program that meets your specific needs.
What to Expect...
For mediation to work, parties must mutually agree to participate with an open mind.
While every case is different, your session will always start with a personal one-on-one visit with a trained and experienced mediator to discuss your specific situation and concerns.
This is followed by the opportunity to work in a safe space with all parties to hear each others concerns and explanations for how each came to be in the situation. The parties will be given the opportunity to state their needs and work with each other to come to an agreement or resolution.
Depending on the situation, the resulting resolution could occur in one or more sessions.
