Family Mediation encompasses two mediation programs:
Youth Family Reconciliation – Facilitates mediation with young people aged 16-25 and their families, allowing participants to tell their story and be heard without interruption, and negotiate solutions. Families are assisted to work though issues which may be putting the youth at risk of homelessness.
Finding Solutions – is an early intervention program targeted at youth aged 12-16 years and their families, who have been identified as requiring assistance to avoid family breakdown. Workers and family members work together to negotiate solutions.
Eligibility: Youth Family Reconciliation referrals can be accepted for youth aged 16 to 25 years. Finding Solutions referrals (12 to 16 year olds) must come through Child Protection Geelong.
