PARENT TEEN MEDIATION

The aim of Parent Teen Mediation is to give teens and their parents/guardians the chance to discuss their issues constructively in a safe and facilitated meeting. Our trained mediators teach them positive communication skills, facilitate mutual understanding, work to strengthen relationships, and help parents and teens to develop mutually acceptable agreements that promote healthy interaction and home life.
​
Parent Teen Mediation is available to all teens and their parents throughout the County. No referral by an outside party is required, so parents and/or teens are welcome to call us directly to request this service at (831) 475-6117. Most mediation sessions are three hours long, and some may take less time. Parent Teen mediation is affordable, and may be pro-rated for partial-hours.

“A lot of discussion went on, a lot of progress as well. I feel more connected to my family than I already was. Our relationship will be different now knowing that I have a lot of support. I feel relieved, calm and ready to accomplish my goals. The mediator led very well and I feel grateful. This is a program to help connect you to your family.”

“My son and I came to an agreement that I never thought at this point it could be done. I feel that I will be able to help my son out better and that I know how he feels. There will be more trust, understanding of each other and just knowing that he is willing to better himself makes me feel better. (When I walked in) I felt angry, upset, confused and now I have more understanding of the conflict.”
