Approaches to Family & Workplace Mediation

Child-Focused Mediation

Cultural Mediation

This approach considers the cultural backgrounds and values of the family members involved. The mediator is sensitive to cultural differences and works to ensure that the mediation process respects and incorporates the family's cultural context, beliefs, and practices.

In cases involving children, this approach places emphasis on the best interests of the child.
The mediator encourages parents to consider the impact of their decisions on their children and to collaborate on solutions that support the child's well-being.

Transformative Mediation

Focused on empowering the parties and transforming their relationship, this approach encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own needs and to understand the needs of the other party. The goal is to foster personal and relational growth, helping parties to change how they communicate and interact with one another. Additionally, the mediator facilitates discussions that identify the interests and needs of each person, helping participants to move beyond traditional adversarial positions and create solutions that meet the needs of all parties.

Restorative Justice Mediation

Primarily used in cases involving misconduct or harm, this approach seeks to repair relationships and restore trust. The mediator facilitates dialogues that acknowledge the impact of actions, encourage accountability, and promote healing for all involved.

Online Mediation

Online mediation for families or workplaces utilizes digital platforms to facilitate discussions remotely. This approach can provide convenience and comfort for participants, especially in situations where in-person meetings may be challenging.
