When parents and/or teens are experiencing conflict with each other, often
times the assistance of a neutral third party can help. The mediator does
not take sides, or decide who is right or wrong. Instead the mediator will
allow each person to talk about the problem from his/her perspective without
judgment or interruption; help each person listen better; assist with
identifying the issues; and help the parent and child brainstorm possible
solutions that work best for the family.
Typical issues that are addressed in mediation are curfews, household chores, friends, and activities, just to name a few. If you are having difficulty in communicating with your teen or parent, consider mediation. Call The DRC for a phone consultation with a coordinator at 734-222-3745 in Washtenaw, or in Livingston County 517-546-6007 or email us.
