Mediation: Solutions for Family Problems & Conflicts
Help for Talking to Your Family Members and Friends About Difficult Situations.
We provide a creative, safe, and compassionate environment to assist you in talking through and solving problems with your family members and friends.
When differences in personalities or opinions arise, communication and resolving conflicts peacefully often suffer.
Working together we find lasting solutions that work for the specific issues affecting your family, today and into the future.
As seasoned mediators we are experienced in facilitating conversations for the full range of family situations.
“Lives Change – Families Are Forever”
WHO WE ARE
About Us
I began mediating more than 35 years ago, as an opportunity to volunteer in my community. In less than two years, volunteering slowly became a second career. In 1986 I co-founded the Minnesota Center for Conflict Resolution. We initially mediated family, business, and organizational disputes.
Mediation Services for Your Family
Our Mediation Services
Medical Issues – Memory Loss – Mobility
Changing health and declining mobility usually affect people as they grow older. How will your family handle these issues? How might you adjust your lives?
Caregiving And Daily Routines
Does someone in your family need more day-to-day help? Are you a long-distance caregiver? Are you the only one helping, and getting burned out?
Housing And Transportation
Is the home getting difficult to live in? How about driving and getting around to run errands, visit friends, or get to appointments? Have either of these two issues become uncomfortable, or even a safety concern?
Wills, Advanced Directives, Final Wishes
Have you written a will? Do you have a trusted person who can make decisions for you, if you aren’t able to? Are your wishes known and written down? We can help with these discussions.
Distracted At Work from Caregiving Responsibilities
Are you trying to care for an aging parent? Are you a caregiver for your spouse? Are you distracted at work; your mind is somewhere else?
Multi-Generational Living
Do you find yourself living with your adult children? How about trying to live with your parents when you’ve previously lived on your own? Too many arguments and conflicts?
Improving Communications And Resolving Conflicts
Different generations living under one roof can easily lead to difficult communication and conflicts. “My parents don’t understand me”. “The kids are adults now; act like it!”
Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
Many grandparents are now raising their grandchildren. We know it can be exhausting and difficult. What can you do to make life better for everyone?
Gaining Independence – Transitioning to Adulthood
Does your child seem stuck? Rudderless? Youth Transition Conferences can help put them on a better path. As a young adult are you craving your “freedom”? A Youth Transition Meeting gives you a stronger chance of making it on your own.
Education Concerns And School Problems
Getting a useful education may be difficult and is different than for previous generations. Truancy? Poor grades? Distractions? How can we help prepare children to be successful?
We can help you and the ones you love
People grow older and still wish to remain independent, we all do – from teens to our grandparents. Responding to life transitions can be difficult, especially when your family disagrees.
