Juvenile dependency mediators are volunteers with the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center. They have special training and experience in mediation.

The mediators do NOT:

• take sides,
• give advice, or
• make decisions for others.

The mediators encourage good communication and an atmosphere of respect. They make sure everyone gets a chance to talk about their concerns. This helps people find solutions themselves.

If the parties can agree on a solution, the mediators will also help you write an agreement.
