Solutions in Parenting

What is Mediation

Solutions in parenting has a deep commitment to providing a full range of comprehensive assistance to families. As a result, we have developed a highly effective, solution-based approach to helping families resolve even their toughest conflicts from negotiating a contract between parents and their adolescents to creating a customized co-parenting agreement. Although we can custom-tailor mediation sessions to best meet the needs of our clients, we follow a standard model of mediation:

CONVENING

This is where the disputing gather in one place for conflict resolution.

OPENING

This is where the mediator makes introductions, if necessary, and explains the goals and ground rules of the mediation.

COMMUNICATION

This step allows for setting the agenda, prioritizing issues, clarification of details, presentation of financial statements or other documentation.

NEGOTIATION

This stage is the reaching of an agreement through discussion and collaboration.

CONCLUSION

At the end of the mediation process, which ranges from one to six meetings, we will help you to document your agreement with either a Memorandum of Understanding, or can refer you to another collaborating party. If necessary, we will inform you how to obtain legal advice to convert your hard work into a legally binding agreement.

How it Works

We use our Bond-Strengthening® Philosophy coupled with extensive Mediation training and experience to promote emotionally healthy verbal skills, alternative conflict resolution skills and solution-based communication to direct the mediation process.
