Living with your parents or guardian? How are things at home? Are you finding that tempers are flaring, and tensions are rising? It’s not always easy living under one roof...
If you are struggling with family relationships, mediation can help. Family mediation is a process which enables you to explore your issues together and try to resolve them. It provides a safe and neutral space which can help you to maintain better family relationships.
MAP Family Mediation is a free, voluntary process.
Mediation only takes place if both parties want to do it. It takes place in an informal, non-judgmental atmosphere. We set ground rules to make sure that things stay as calm as possible, and we can help you to come up with a written agreement if that’s helpful, to refer to afterwards.
Some of our clients have been on verge of being kicked out of home - and some were already kicked out when they attended mediation.
Despite these challenges, many young people who seek mediation have since managed to work things out and go back home. Some of our clients have sought mediation because they were having an utterly miserable time in their household; just because they couldn’t agree a rota for washing up, or agree on how late they should stay out at weekends. Others were having such a stressful time at school or college that it affected how they were relating to their family.
We are always happy to talk through a situation before a referral is made, if that is useful. If you think family mediation may be able to help with a situation you’re going through, why not follow the contact details below and reach out for a chat?
