Family Meeting Facilitation
Our mediation services are specially designed to meet your family’s needs
Family conversations, especially those about elder care, can be highly stressful and emotional. We help families like yours talk about difficult topics, ensuring each family member is heard and treated with respect.
We bring adult siblings, aging parents, blended families, spouses and/or partners together — some of whom haven't had a civil conversation in years. We will gently and professionally guide you, your adult siblings, and your parents through respectful, productive conversations to reach lasting agreements.
We work with families before lines are drawn in the sand and court proceedings are considered. We also work with those who are already represented by attorneys, to avoid the high cost, time delays and ultimate uncertainties of court.
