General Family Dispute Mediation
If you are in dispute with any member of your family, why not try mediation? As most conflict originates from a breakdown in a relationship and/or communication, having a constructive conversation with someone can in some cases restore that relationship. Even if the relationship is not restored, a mediation session can still provide some clarity for parties from hearing each other’s point of view and perspectives, and maybe find out why they ended up in a dispute in the first place.
PARENT AND TEENAGER MEDIATION
Sometimes, there may be conflict between a teenage child and a parent after separation; teenage children often have their own perceptions of what happened, and who they feel is to blame, in regard to their parents’ separation, and can ‘reject’ a parent as a result. Parent and Teenager Mediation can provide a safe space for the Teenager to talk about how they feel and what they need from the parent they have ‘rejected’ to enable a restoration of the parent/teenager relationship at a level both the Parent and the Teenager can agree to.
Should you be interested in Parent and Teenager Mediation, please note the following:
For this service, a Teenager is defined as 13 to 18 years of age
Both parents must provide written consent for the child to attend
As with any proposed mediation, the practitioner will see each party first to determine if it suitable to proceed to a joint mediation session
Not all matters are deemed suitable for Parent and Teenager Mediation; even if both parents have consented to the child attending a joint mediation session, the practitioner may not deem it suitable to proceed.
