Activities

Family Mediation is a way of resolving the disputes that accompany the breakdown of parental and family relationships, outside the adversarial process; a means of establishing communication between separating or divorced parents.
 

 
With the support of a trained, neutral third party, clients enter into a voluntary process that allows the dispute and its resolution to remain within the controlf of the parents and families concerned, rather than being settled by judgement of Court. Parents who are separating or divorced are given the opportunity to reach their own mutually acceptable arrangements for their children.
 

 
Other family situations arising as a result of parental separation can be helped through counselling or mediation, e.g. children/young people/parents struggling to cope with new arrangements; estrangement of grandparents; step-family difficulties. Contact services also available - hand-over/supported contact/supervised contact.
