Parent-teen mediation is a powerful new model where both an adult mediator and a teen mediator work together to support families in conflict. Both mediators are neutral parties providing a safe environment and helping parents and teens express their feelings and needs in ways that can be understood. The teen and adult team models positive communication between generations and ensures that all voices are heard. All mediators participate in an intensive 40 hour training, practice in mock mediation sessions, and observe actual mediations before co-mediating.
Mediators become part of a community of mediators, receiving on-going education and support.
