Free mediation gives families a voice in the outcome and a plan for their future, reduces frustration & conflict, and helps keep children safely home with family whenever possible.
What is dependency court mediation?
Dependency Court exists to keep children safe, and whenever possible, to help parents get back on track through Family Reunification (FR).
Without mediation, too often, co-parents exit the system without a plan, which leads to confusion and renewed anxiety, which can lead to relapses.
Our two specially-educated, volunteer co-mediators invest a full day in giving our families their voice back as they plan their future within the safety orders of the Court.
