Family Services

Helping Your Family Move Forward

Juvenile Dependency Mediation
Established in 2005 in partnership with San Luis Obispo County’s Department of Social Services, this program offers a safe, neutral and effective forum for parents, social workers, and attorneys to work together toward the best interests of the children involved in the Juvenile Dependency system. Referrals are made by Child Welfare Services and the Juvenile Dependency Court.

Parent/Teen Mediation
These services offer parents and teens the opportunity to focus on specific areas of conflict within the home and come up with a plan on how to address these issues. Examples of topics include: curfew times, truancy, teen needs and interests, boundaries, and clear expectations on both sides.

Elder Family Mediation
We offer a variety of coaching and conflict resolution services for families grappling with decisions surrounding the care of an elder family member.
