Family Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process through which family members learn to communicate with each other and deal with both the everyday issues and major conflicts. Two trained volunteer mediators meet with the family for a number of sessions to help them define the issues and arrive at mutually agreed upon solutions. The role of the mediators is to provide guidance on the art of listening and communicating, not to make recommendations or suggestions on how to resolve the issues.

Mediation is neither arbitration nor does it take the place of counseling. All parties must agree to it voluntarily and work together to come up with their own solutions. Mediation can be between adults or adults and children.
