Family Conflict
We can help families with a variety of conflicts and challenges including parent-teen conflict, adult sibling conflict, and elder care.* Please note that we are not an emergency service. If your matter is urgent please call the police or mobile crisis unit if applicable.
Here’s a snapshot of a few methods we use:
Once an application is submitted a caseworker will contact the parties involved to get a better understanding of their perspective on the conflict. All parties will have independent contact with the caseworker prior to joint conversations. For family matters often parties have many topics or issues they’d like to discuss. Caseworkers help the parties to focus on the issues that are most important to them. In the first one or two mediation sessions time will be spent looking back at past key conflicts with the goal of also having a future focused conversation afterward
The goals for mediation are defined by the parties and may include strategy for future communication, clarified expectations, a greater understanding of past events and intentions, and schedules or time lines for commitments made.
Please note: Mediation Services does NOT work for the government.
