4-minutes about how SCFM volunteers have had a measurable positive impact on the lives of thousands of families and children
Our volunteers are leading the way.
Because, people do change!
When we know better we can act better.
When we act better we become better.
Mediators are the medicine.
"We are so grateful for our innovative partnership with Southern California Family Mediation, offering co-parents and guardians the opportunity to build communication and problem-solving skills they need to successfully navigate through conflict in a healthy way."
- Children's Law Center of Los Angeles
“When parents and children engage in successful mediation, those cases are more likely to result in dependent children returning to safe and healthy homes…and diminished recidivism”
- Presiding Judge, L.A. County Juvenile Courts
Every seat at the table is made possible by your support.
The more donations we raise, the more families we can serve.
Peace begins at home. Conflict skills can be learned. Poor conflict habits can be broken.
Without a plan, confusion & frustration lead to conflict.
We help parents learn how to negotiate and how to agree.
They design their own customized, detailed roadmaps to co-parenting success.
Our volunteers have been the answer for thousands of families at all Los Angeles Children's & dependency courts, since 2014.
A better form of social peace and justice is here, for generations.
“...Because if they know what to do, it alleviates the stress and confusion, and makes for a much more peaceful coexistence.”
“Children’s Court cases end, but the consequences must be dealt with by the families everyday thereafter. Thanks to SC Family Mediation, exit orders of all kinds are being negotiated regularly, thoroughly, and with great compassion for the families involved.”
"A specific visitation schedule for families enhances the chances that they will not return to the child dependency system. There are provisions for safety, stability, and permanency for the child or children.”
“It was very helpful for both parents, very clear and very smooth for fixing and finding an agreement. Thank you so much for your help.”
“This has undone years of conflict and disagreements.”
“I appreciate that we were able to agree upon things to simplify a tough situation. Thank you for helping us compromise.”
Thank you for GIVING PEACE A CHANCE!
